YEAST PIE CRUST

Hi friends, wishing you much happiness and success in 2012!

If you want to try an alternative pie crust, try this Yeast Pie Crust recipe using yeast. This looks and tastes just like normal pie but less buttery of course.

I  had used  1.5 cups of all purpose flour and  turned the crust into mini pies using 3 in round cutter instead of one large pie. Feel free to use any filling of your choice but now had stuffed them with fruit preserves. Be careful not to overfill as the jam will spill out when hot and burn.  These are so cute and great for serving your guests.

This pie crust is so easy to handle and bakes beautifully. I should make Yeast Pie Crust again and vary the filling with blueberries, cherries or chocolate next.

This recipe can easily be doubled.

This fantastic cake is sheer indulgent with very little saturated fat, you can enjoy without guilt. Most importantly so fluffy and delicious!
