different dessert that will delight friends and family at Christmas
1 Pie Crust
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dates (cut up)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
Prepare a pie crust as follows:
Ingredients:
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup flour
2 or 3 tablespoons water
Mix shortening into the flour with a fork until mixture is made up of
crumbly pebble sized lumps. Add water and toss with a fork until batter
is moist. Now, using your hands, form the dough into a ball.
Dust a large flat (clean and dry) surface with flour. Place ball of
dough on surface; then dust the dough ball. Carefully press ball flat
with rolling pin. Dust ball again and flip, repeating the process until
dough is eight to nine inches in diameter. Flip dough over rolling pin
and lay it into pie tin. Trim edges. Set aside while making filling.
Beat the egg yolks, flour, sugar and salt with a mixer until it is lemon
coloured and light. Now add whipping cream, the dates, the walnuts and
vanilla. Stir, do not beat. When mixture is consistent pour it into the
pie shell and move to 350 degree oven. Bake about one hour.
Pie will be done when crust is golden brown.
