I made a mini version of the Banana Cream Pie, picked by Amy at Sing for Your Supper. I used a third of Dorie's all-purpose pie crust, as suggested, but I used butter only, no shortening. I don't know what it is about shortening, I just feel weird using it. Instead of rolling the dough, I just pressed it into a (buttered and floured) mini springform pan.
The pie is layered with sliced bananas and a cinnamon/nutmeg custard filling. It's definitely a tasty pie.. I think this might actually be my first taste of banana cream pie, now that I think about it. It was enjoyable, but definitely an indulgence.
Very tasty! Find the recipe here.*Tuesdays with Dorie is a group of bloggers baking through Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours.
that looks so yummy! I didn't make it since I really dont dig the texture of bananas, but checking out all the yummy reviews, I wish I had made it for my boys. :(

Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little pie!
ReplyDeleteit looks fantastic! and i share your feelings about shortening. even though the major brand has packages say trans fat free or whatever, i still have reservations and am skeptical about using it.
ReplyDeleteShortening is absolutely gross - I am in complete agreement with you.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get a small springform pan, it really makes such a cute little pie!
Look at those lovely layers. The thing about the TWDers is that so many of us think alike. Minis! Piped cream! Dedication!!!!
