Sunday, Aug. 2, 2009: "How Sweet It Is!"Join Jason Davis for the sweetest "On the Road" journey we've ever taken! From the state's favorite candy bar to the best ice cream in America, we'll show you how Minnesotans love to make these scrumptious, delicious treats! You'll be hungry for more when you see bakers make by hand a traditional Czechoslovakian cookie and watch how generations of one family have followed the same candy recipes that are 100 years old. Plus, we'll visit the pie capitol of Minnesota, where they eat the flaky pastry...a lot! Click on the links below to watch individual segments: The Pie Capitol of Minnesota! Marilyn McGiff bakes hundreds of pies for the "Pie Day" festival in Braham. Here's Marilyn's recipe, that she says turns anyone into an expert pie baker! "Marilyn's Best Braham Pie Crust"
This recipe makes 20 crusts at a time for freezing as you need them.
This takes a VERY large bowl. A large roaster works well to mix ingredients.
20 cups (5 pounds) flour. Marilyn recommends "Swany White."
1 TBSP. salt
3-pound can of shortening OR 3 lbs. of home-made lard
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup white vinegar
Combine flour and salt in very large container. Cut shortening into mixture. Combine vinegar and water and add all at once to flour mixture and mix well.
Divide dough into 20 oblong rolls or flat patties. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze what you don't immediately need. Use within 12 months.
Marilyn tell us: "You don't have to measure since you use a five-pound bag of flour and three-pounds of shortening/lard." When asked if she ever divided the recipe in half or made smaller quantities, she said, "Never. The idea is that you mix this batch of dough, put it in little dough logs in the freezer and then pull it out for a really easy dessert."
