BEGINNERS, BAKE BEAUTIFUL PIE CRUSTS!
Betty Crocker says:
“My new STIR-N-ROLL recipe simplifies measuring, makes dough extra easy to handle. And, my solid shortening method’s an old favorite. Either way, with Gold Medal Flour, your crusts will be tender, golden brown.”
STREUSEL CREAM PEACH PIE
PEACHES NESTLED IN CREAMY CUSTARD . . . TOPPED WITH BROWN SUGAR
Preheat oven to 425° (hot).
Make . . . Pastry for 9-in. One-Crust Pie (choice of recipes below)
Arrange in pastry-lined pie pan . . . 4 cups quartered or halved peeled peaches (8 to 10 peaches)
(Overlap them, pink-side-up, around side of pan. Fill center with remaining peaches.)
Sprinkle over peaches . . 1/2 cup sugar; 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, if desired
Beat together, then pour over sugared peaches . . 1 egg; 2 tbsp. cream
Mix together until crumbly . . 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1/4 cup soft butter; 1/2 cup GOLD MEDAL Flour
Sprinkle crumb mixture over filling.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes in hot oven (425°). Serve slightly warm. For an elegant garnish, pass a bowl of whipped ice cream or sour cream.
CANNED PEACH VARIATION
Follow recipe above . . . except use 8-in. pie pan. Use 1 no. 2½ can peach halves, well drained. Sprinkle over peaches 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes.
STIR-N-ROLL PASTRY FOR 9 OR 8-IN. ONE-CRUST PIE (liquid shortening)
Mix together . . . 1 1/3 cups sifted GOLD MEDAL Flour; 1 tsp. salt
Pour into one measuring cup (but don’t stir together) . . . 1/3 cup cooking (salad) oil such as Wesson; 3 tbsp. cold whole milk
Then pour all at once into flour.
Stir until mixed. Press with hands into smooth ball. Flatten slightly. Place between 2 sheets of waxed paper (12-in. square). Roll out gently until circle reaches edges of paper. (Waxed paper will not slip while rolling pastry if table top under paper is slightly damp.) Peel off top paper. If dough tears, mend without moistening by pressing edges together . . . or by pressing a scrap of pastry lightly over tear. Lift paper and pastry by top corners; they will cling together. Place, paper-side-up, in 9 or 8-in. pie pan. Carefully peel off paper. Gently ease and fit pastry into pan. Build up fluted edge.
PASTRY FOR 9 OR 8-IN. ONE-CRUST PIE (solid shortening)
Mix together . . . 1 cup sifted GOLD MEDAL Flour; 1/2 tsp. salt
Cut in with pastry blender or 2 knives . . . 1/3 cup shortening . . . cut in first half until mixture looks like meal . . . then cut in the rest until particles are size of giant peas
Sprinkle over mixture . . . 2 tbsp. water
Mix with fork until all flour is moistened and dough clings together. Press with hands into a smooth ball. Flatten gently into a circle on lightly floured cloth-covered board. To prevent cracking, press edges in gently with cupped hands. Roll out 1 1/2-in. larger than inverted pie pan. Place loosely in pan. Trim any ragged edges, leaving 1/2-in. overhanging pan. Fold extra pastry back on rim; build up fluted edge.

Sift together into mixing bowl . . . 2 cups sifted GOLD MEDAL Flour; 1/4 cup sugar; 2 tsp. double-action baking powder; 1/2 tsp. soda; 1/2 tsp. salt
Add . . . 1/4 cup soft shortening; 1 egg; 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
Mix together with pastry blender or blending fork . . . using a “cutting in” motion at first to divide shortening into small pieces (about 8 to 10 strokes). Then stir in circular motion with blender just until flour is moistened and ingredients blended. The batter will look lumpy. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes in moderately hot oven (400°), until golden brown. Serve hot with butter and jam, or any desired spread. Makes 12 medium-sized muffins.
