Pie Fries

One of my fave things to munch on at Burien Press is something from the High Five Pie Company called Pie Fries. My Aunt Orinne used to make these. Sort of.

Left Over Pie Dough
Egg for egg wash
Cinnamon
Sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Simply take some leftover pie dough and roll it out, Give a quick brush with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, take a pastry cutter (pizza cutter) and slice into strips about 1/2 inch wide. and bake @ 350 degrees until a golden brown. Great use of the rest of the dough.

My auntie use to make a large sheet of pie dough and bake it with the cinnamon and sugar and let everyone break off a piece to eat. One of the best things about pie baking time at Auntie's house!

HOW I MAKE SNO-CONES

Summer is here and time for a refreshing treat. To me summer means street fairs, and snowcones. I recently was playing around with my Cuisin Art and crushed some ice. And I had been watching a shaved ice vendor at the Burien Farmers' Market. I put two and two together , and came up with this recipe- You don’t need and Ice crusher or any other fancy gismos. All you need is a Cuisin Art or a blender and some syrup:


About 2 cups of Ice cubes
Some type of flavored syrup

Put ice cubes into a cuisine art or blender.
Pulse for about a minute.
Until Ice is crushed smooth

Scoop ice into a martini glass or cup.
Pour syrup (about 1 jigger or one ounce) over the top. Enjoy!

Note: I used TORIANI SUGAR FREE SYRUP (raspberry flavor), I would imagine you could use any flavored syrup. But using sugar free makes it a guilt free treat!
And please - no comments on the messy kitchen! (I have been in school all week and had no time for cleaning!
