<p>Thanks for the pie crust recipe! Is this the same Nora Ephron peach pie recipe as the one in her book?

<p>Mrs. Winegar’s Devil’s Food Cake looks to be luscious. It reminds me of the Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake recipe on the back of the powdered unsweetened dark chocolate cans. It also involves boiling water. The accompanying chocolate cake recipe is also crazy good.</p>

<p>Consolation, what can I offer you to come over to my house and bake me a perfect white cake?</p>

<p>I am a mocha chocolate cake fan. After reading all this about white cake, you are making me realize I may have been missing something all of my life.</p>

<p>Okay, pie. I make pie almost daily – and if I do say so myself I am a damn good pie baker. I use a dough that is just flour, salt, butter and ice water – it works everytime.
A couple tricks</p>

<p>Make the dough and then let it sit for about 20 minutes before you roll it out. If my kitchen is warm I put it in the refrigerator, but other wise I just let it sit on the counter.</p>

<p>Roll the crust THIN. Thick crust is just nasty and gets left on the plate everytime. Less crust means more filling.</p>

<p>When putting the filling together, instead of flour or tapioca or cornstarch for thickening the fruit, use potato starch flour. It is tasteless and clear, makes a much less gloppy pie.</p>

<p>Make your pie so it comes out of the oven 2 to 3 hours before you want to serve it. It gives it enough time to set up, but is still warm. This is the best time to eat pie. While I love day old pie, the crust is really best within the first 4-5 hours. </p>

<p>KEEP it simple. The best pie is a plain crust, good fruit gently sweetened, spiced lightly. You don’t need a bunch of glop.</p>

<p>Thanks lololu, will look for potato starch flour at my grocery store when I do my shopping next week.</p>

<p>And if you find it, I have a great recipe for cake made with potato flour and ground nuts, suitable for passover.</p>
