I am a pie fan from way back. This pastry has to be one of my favourites for any pie as it has no sugar and is therefore flavour neutral, for either sweet or savoury fillings. Make sure you bake it long enough to completely cook the pastry, or it may not live up to its name.
I have used this recipe in The Bakers Dozen Calendar 2019 which stars the Traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe from Tenina's America cookbook in October...just to be traditional for both Halloween and the lead up to Thanksgiving. So book a date with this calendar. It will be an amazing reference guide for your baking for years to come. (AND if you are an Insider, your first copy is FREE to you, all you have to pay is postage! So join me on the Inside if that appeals at all!)
