Pi Day

Passionfruit is my absolute favorite of all flavors. You don't usually see it in pies, but I was determined to make it happen. A friend and I came up with this recipe and "tested" it three times. You know...for science. Honestly, I was surprised that it was such a success, but it really turned out very good. A little tart, a little sweet, and the buttery, flaky crust balances it all out.

And, as promised, a pie crust tutorial after the jump. For now the tutorial has no pictures. I didn't have my pie dish, so I couldn't take photos. I'll re-post with pics soon.

Wednesday is Pi Day!

And in honor of this most important of "holidays" I'll be posting a little tutorial on how to make the perfect pie crust (along with a recipe for a passionfruit meringue pie that a friend and I came up with). I've picked up a few techniques here and there, and I assure you it's very doable. There's no reason why anyone should have to eat a store-bought crust. Ever. Sounds snobby? Well, this is not Sandra Lee's blog...
