This is a handy tome to add to your library, especially if you're a gardener who has an overabundance of of crops. It also provides a sneaky way of getting kids (of all ages) to eat more veggies. This recipe, for instance, a distant cousin of that Southern classic, Shoofly Pie, uses beets. |
| Ingredients: |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening 1/3 cup light molasses 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 egg, beaten 3/4 cup evaporated skim milk 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 cups puréed beets 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pastry shell, homemade (follow this link for recipe), frozen or refrigerated |
| Instructions: |
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Combine flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon, cut in shortening, and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, combine molasses and baking soda. Stir in the egg, evaporated skim milk, flavoring and pureé. Pour half the liquid mixture into pie shell; add 1/4 of the crumbs and stir. Pour in the remaining liquid mixture and top with remainder of the crumbs. This time, do not stir. Bake 12 minutes until crust starts to brown. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and Bake for 45 minutes, until pie is firm.
