Pie and more pie








As I continue to plan my upcoming trip to the British Isles for a few months of cycle-touring, I am busy getting Irene rebuilt while I sort out all my clothing, camping gear, spare parts and tools. Staying with friends Kt and Rick in Bloomfield, Ontario, I have been very fortunate to enjoy the near-daily baking of pies by super-chef, Kt. A few days ago, apple; today, ginger bread for breakfast.

Although I know this doesn’t really have anything to do directly with my riding, I like pie very much and it seems that many of my friends at L.E.

  15. Well hello chocolate pie lovers! kt, the baker of the pies here. I am sorry to disappoint you all but that wasn’t a chocolate pie it was a chocolate gingerbread!! and we had it for breakfast. It was very yummy and gingery!! I will put the recipe up here later today so y’all can bake it at school (do they have home economics kitchens in public school?? didn’t think so!!) the other pies are: a dinner pie with a hashbrown crust and vegetables and cheese inside, and the one at the bottom is an apple/raspberry crumble dessert pie. Tomorrow I will make Alex a Lemon Cloud Pie. Thanks for the props, kids. Pie is love.

  16. Kt is the most wonderful baker! All the pies she makes are full of love, which makes them taste extra special. The lemon cloud pie was soo tasty; the custard was fluffy and the crust was flaky. Thank you kt!!

  17. Hello pie lovers ….
    BREAKFAST GINGERBREAD RECIPE: Know the recipe before you start. Have everything you need at hand, and go through the plan before you put anything in a bowl. Thanks for your interest and let me know if anyone tries the recipe out there. `true wheels and tailwinds, kt

    in one bowl sift (or mix if you don’t have a sifter)
    2.5 cups of pastry flour (If you don’t have that any kind of flour will do … but not be as fluffy … you can use other flour combinations, too, like spelt or buckwheat) 1t(teaspoon) baking soda,
    1t ground ginger,
    .5t ground nutmeg,
    .5t ground cinnamon.
    Get all these “dry” ingredients well mixed up together (no lumps) and set the bowl aside.

    In ANOTHER bowl mix
    1.25 cups of full fat yogurt (or buttermilk if you have it),
    2 large eggs,
    .5 cup molasses and
    .5 cup dutch cocoa powder (or 1 bar of melted pure milk chocolate) and
    .25 cup of sugar.
    Blend (with an electric mixer or in a food processor but NOT in a blender or with one of those handheld blender devices) all the liquid together until it is nice and smooth. If you want your bread to be more gingery you can add some fresh ginger peeled and grated to the liquid bowl. Maybe 2 Tablespoons.
    Turn the oven on to 375 degrees.

    Here comes the tricky part. This stage is part of the chemical reaction that make it get puffy in the oven so you gotta do the whole thing the way I say.

    Put 2 Tablespoons of butter into a cast iron frying pan. Put that pan in the oven to let the butter melt.

    READ THIS PART TWICE BEFORE YOU START … speed and organization is really important now.

    Take the hot pan out of the oven and swirl the butter around so it covers all the edges of the pan, then add the melted butter into the liquid bowl and using the mixer mix it very well (1 minute on medium). Now, slowly and evenly, pour the dry ingredients into the liquid, mixing the whole time over five minutes; once the whole dry bowl has been poured in mix for another full minute. Once that is done grab a rubber spatula and pour all of the mixture into the still-hot cast iron frying pan. Use the rubber scraper to get all the batter of the edges of the bowl into the pan.

    Put it in the oven for 45 minutes on 375 or so. Plan to open the oven door ONLY ONCE during the baking process to rotate the pan at about 20 minutes. But look in the front window regularly after 30 minutes.

    The top in the middle will crack when it is cooked. Have a cooling rack ready. When you take the pan out of the oven set the pan on the rack so the bottom will lose heat quickly and not burn. Let the pan cool for at least fifteen minutes.

    Whew! Then you should have Chocolate Breakfast Gingerbread. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions before making it yourself. It should take about fifteen minutes to prep and 45 to bake.

    One little note about baking: the more “whole” ingredients that you use the better it will taste. Use butter instead of margarine, use whole wheat instead of processed white flour, use organic, fair trade full fat dutch cocoa powder instead of a corporate chocolate bar. Use blackstrap molasses instead of fancy. Use raw sugar instead of processed white sugar. If you don’t bake regularly things can take a little longer.
