Pie Crust!

Pie Crust!

I used to make pie crusts in the food processor. (hangs head in shame) That is unnecessarily time consuming and messy, not to mention overkill on a dough that should be worked gently and briefly as possible. Pie crust is easy! Almost as easy as opening a box, cutting the plastic, and unrolling the already-made stuff. Its also cheaper, and I would bet you, flakier! All you need is: 2 cups AP (thats short for all purpose flour) 3/4 cups lard 1 tsp. salt 3 oz. ice water (I fill a small glass with ice water, and leave it there until I'm ready to measure the water, then pour 3 0z. into my measuring cup) (btw, 3 oz. is 6 tablespoons) What you do is: measure your flour and salt into a bowl. Add the lard. now take your hand and work the lard into the flour. When you have worked it in enough it will resemble a very coarse meal. I just work it in until theres no great big globs of obvious lard. Now, pour in your ice water with one hand and work it in with the other. It may not take all of it...

Chocolate orange truffle cake Served with vanilla ice cream and orange coulis

Wondering what to post next I searched my repertoire vigorously and with the hottest day so far in the U.K I found this great recipe that I once used In the Officers mess for 4/7 Dragoon guards during a very hot summer. For a non pacific dinner when I say that every dinner was a special occasion, dinner was at 7pm every night and the officers had to wear their best uniform i.e No 1's which included chain mail and spurs and once dinner commenced they were unable to leave the table or they would be fined 1 bottle of Champagne at quite a hefty price but to be honest money was no object to these guys they were all born with silver spoons in their mouths. That,s enough of that this is a wonderfully light summery dish and refreshing so here it is.   Ingredients Chocolate orange truffle cake 200g 70% dark chocolate 250g unsalted butter, softened 350g light brown sugar 5 free range medium eggs, lightly beaten 140g plain flour, sieved 5ml vanilla extract 5ml Cointreau (optional) Zest of...
