Pie Crust in a MUG?!?!?!?

 

Yep! Super easy, super delicious, and you can use it in a ton of recipes!!

First you will need:

2/3 cup of flour

2tbsp sugar

1/3 cup veggie oil

wax paper

and the secret ingredient is 3 tbs COLD ICE WATER

a BIG MUG

-add all the ingredients into the mug in that order and mix it with a fork

-pour out the mug onto a piece of wax paper and knead it into a smooth ball

Then: 

-lay another piece of wax paper on top and roll it out into a circle about the size of your pie tin

Here is a super easy way to get it into the pie tin:

You're going to peel off the top piece of wax paper, lay your pie tin on top, then flip the crust and wax paper into the pan! Peel off the wax paper gently, press it into your pan a bit and,....

Don't forget to fold down any extra edge!

I made 2 of these, and my mom made them for quiche that night.

A few days later, I made another pie shell and filled it with yumminess!

I peeled and sliced an apple, mixed it with some cinnamon sugar, and popped it in the microwave for about 3 minutes. Then put it on half my pie shell and folded it over! I baked it at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes and.....

Want a close up of the yumminess?!?!

You are going to want to click on that picture to really see the flaky goodness!!

So this pie dough can be used for lots of things, not just pie! Be creative with your fillings and see what you can come up with!

See you next time in my kitchen!

Christmas CRACK!!! The good kind!

We had a great Christmas with LOTS of treats! This is one I wasn't really sure about, but, WOW, it turned out great!

The most important thing you are going to need is a big bowl. I mean a BIG bowl! I mean a REALLY BIG BOWL!

My friend Hannah is the one who showed me this recipe, and let us use her REALLY BIG BOWL! Mom bought us a REALLY BIG BOWL because....we are making this lots!

Take a look at these ingredients:

And this recipe:

• 3 1/2 Cups Golden Grahams
• 3 1/2 Cups Rice Chex
• 3/4 Cup Coconut
• 1/2 Cup Slivered Almonds
• 1/3 Cup Butter
• 1/2 Cup Corn Syrup
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

 Here's what you do:

1. Begin by adding the Golden Grahams, Rice Chex cereal, coconut, and slivered almonds to a large bowl. Mix it up.

2. Next, add the butter, corn syrup, sugar, and vanilla to a medium sized sauce pan.

3. Heat the mixture over medium heat on the stovetop until the sugar has dissolved and it begins to boil.

4. Pour the liquid mixture over the cereal mixture.

5. Use a spoon to stir the mixture until all of the cereal is coated. Let it cool and eat!

We did not let it cool in bowl we let it cool on some wax paper. This is 4 feet of yum!

ooey, gooey, soft and chewy YUM

I was hesitant because it looked weird, but I  was brave and tried a bit...

                                                                     and then another bit....

and then another bit...

                                           

                                           and guess what.... it was AMAZING!!!

Like so so A.MAZ.ING!!

You wanna go make some now!
