Pie experiments
Nov. 24th, 2010 08:32 pmI'm experimenting to try to invent snickerdoodle pie. I took my mother's Tollhouse pie recipe and sort of crossed with Momofuku's Crack Pie recipe, then added cinnamon chips. Anyway, I decorated the rim of the snickerdoodle pie with little leaf cutouts so that you can tell snickerdoodle pie from Tollhouse pie. Well, the snickerdoodle pie seems to have decided that it is not a pie, it is a souffle. It has risen up out of its crust, like some kind of bloated mutant rubber monster, and eaten all my poor little leaves. Now it looms over its terrified Tollhouse cousin cooling on the next rack.
