The recipes in this book demonstrate the basic principles of making all
types of pies successfully. In addition, some of the recipes show how
the use of Pet Evaporated Milk helps make better cream, custard, and
chiffon pies—at lower cost.
Since Pet Milk is homogenized milk concentrated to double richness, it
is an ideal ingredient for these pies. It takes the place of whipping
cream in chiffon pies, is used as milk in the other types—and, in all
cases, combines rich flavor, creamy texture, with increased milk
nourishment.
In some recipes, too, double-rich Pet Milk takes the place of butter. In
others, it replaces the eggs usually called for ... with perfect
results.
No other form of milk can guarantee such delicious results when used as
an ingredient in pies. Yet Pet Milk costs less generally than any other
form of whole milk.

TO MAKE TENDER FLAKY PASTRY
❶ Measure all ingredients accurately.
a. Flour should be sifted before measuring; then spoon lightly into cup
and level off with straight edge of knife. Be careful not to pack
flour down by shaking or tapping cup.
b. To measure shortening accurately, pack into measuring cup and level
off with straight edge of knife.
❷ Cut in half of shortening until mixture looks like coarse meal. This
gives _tenderness_ to the crust. Cut in remaining shortening until it is
the size of large peas. This gives _flakiness_ to the crust.
[Illustration: 2.]
❸ Sprinkle water (a tablespoon at a time) over mixture. Mix lightly with
fork until flour is moistened. Use only enough water to make all of
flour mixture stick together when gently pressed with fork, and “clean
the sides” as it moves around the bowl. Shape dough into a smooth ball.
❹ Sprinkle flour over board or pastry cloth, using only enough to
prevent dough from sticking. Roll with quick, light strokes, working
outward from the center to the edge, keeping crust as round as possible.
Without turning dough, roll out pastry completely on one side to ⅛ inch
thickness. If edges tear, overlap, then roll lightly over the mended
spot to seal. Invert pie pan on dough and cut 1½ inches from rim around
pan. This insures enough dough to fit into pan without stretching.
[Illustration: 4.]
❺ Fold the dough in half and lift carefully into the pan. Smooth bottom
with finger tips; lift edge and ease in sides. Stretching causes crust
to shrink during baking. Trim so that dough extends about ½ inch beyond
edge of pan. Fold extra dough under until even with pan rim. To flute,
press dough between thumb and forefinger of one hand and forefinger of
the other.

[Illustration: 5.]
❻ If you use a pastry mix, follow directions on package. Break the mix
up slightly if it has become packed in container. Follow tips (see next
page) when rolling out and placing crust into pie pan.
TIPS ON BAKING PERFECT PASTRY
Choose pie pans of oven proof glass for a well-baked, browned
undercrust. Shiny metal does not bake the undercrust as well because it
reflects the heat. Aluminum pans with satiny finish also give good
results.
For a baked pastry shell:
[Illustration: a.]
a. Pierce all over with fork to permit air to escape and prevent
blisters.
b. Cool thoroughly before pouring in desired filling.
c. Bake on shelf slightly above center in 425 (hot) oven 12 minutes, or
until brown.
For two crust pies:
a. Cut several slashes in top crust to let steam escape or top crust
will puff up leaving a hollow space underneath.
b. Fold edge of upper pastry under lower edge before fluting to keep
juices from boiling out.
Use a 450 (extremely hot) oven for the first 10 to 15 minutes to brown
the crust and then turn temperature down to 325-350 (moderate) for
remainder of cooking time.

tablespoon at a time tablespoons
Roll on lightly floured board to about ⅛-inch thickness. Fit loosely
into 9-inch pan. Fold extra pastry under and pinch with fingers to flute

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
Mix together 1¼ cups fine graham cracker crumbs[1]
⅓ cup melted butter or margarine
Press firmly with back of spoon in bottom and on sides of 9-inch pie
pan. Chill until needed.
[1]Sixteen 2½-inch crackers will make 1¼ cups crumbs.
TIPS ON MAKING FLUFFY MERINGUE
1. Use large fresh eggs and let the egg whites warm to room temperature
before beating them.
2. Spread meringue on pie filling to edges of crust. Then the meringue
won’t pull away from the crust as it bakes.
3. Bake meringue at 400 on center rack of oven for 7 to 8 minutes.
4. Meringue should be cooled slowly. A draft causes meringues to shrivel
and form little beads of syrup on top.
5. Meringue will not stick to knife, if knife is dipped into water
before cutting pie.

contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
