Rhoada Dayley's Banana Cream Pie

For filling for one pie shell.  2 c. milk, I use 1 c. evaporated milk and 1 c. water; 1/2 c. sugar, 1 egg (don't try to use more or it will curdle);  2 heaping Tbsp. flour, 1 tsp. vanilla.  Put milk in heavy sauce pan or double boiler, and heat.  Meanwhile, mix sugar & flour then add egg & beat well, might need to add a little more milk.  Then pour into warm milk and bring to a boil while stirring all the while.  for those who can't use sugar: 1 tall can evaporate milk, 1 1/2 c. water, 3/4 c. honey, 3 Tbsp. cornstarch; mixed with part of the water and 1 egg makes two pies.  When cool, pour over 2 sliced bananas in each pie shell.

Wham Bam Pie Crust

Wham Bam Pie Crust
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp. water

Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in oil and water.
Mix until combined. Then form it into a ball. Spray your pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Put the ball of dough in the middle of your pie dish. And start pushing down on your ball of dough and begin spreading it towards the sides. Do as best as you can to evenly pull it up the sides. You'll want plenty of dough up the sides too so you can crimp it at the top edge. You can even get in there with your knuckles if you need to.
Make sure you also press down into the bottom rim of the pan too to spread out the dough and so it's not too thick. And then you can start to go around and crimp the top edges of the crust. Remember, this does not have to be perfect. It’s a bottom-only pie crust. It's rustic and it's homemade. It should look that way. Once it’s ready, fill with your favorite filling and bake according to your pie’s directions.

Cook's Notes: If you are using this crust in a recipe that calls for a pre-baked pie crust.
Before baking, just make sure you use a fork and prick lots of little holes all over the crust. This will keep the crust from puffing up too much while baking.  Enjoy! www.thecountrycook.net

Ollie's Lemon Butter

3 eggs well beaten

2 lemons juice and grated rind

1/4 lb butter

1 cup sugar

Cook in double boiler until thick, stirring occasionally

May be kept in fridge, stored in jars, and is delicious in tarts, cake filling, or just on toast, yum, yumm!

Orange Cake with Easy Chocolate Truffle Frosting

Orange Cake

Sift together and set aside:

• 2 3/4 cups cake flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Cream together until fluffy:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups sugar

Add, one at a time, beating well after every addition;

• 4 eggs at room temperature 

Mix in :

• zest of two medium size oranges, very finely chopped

Beat in:

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Gently fold in the dry ingredients in three equal portions, alternately with

• 1 cup undiluted evaporated milk

When adding dry and wet ingredients alternately in any baking recipe, always begin and end with the dry ingredients.

Pour batter evenly into 2 well greased and floured 8 or 9 inch cake pans. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Watch it carefully, you will not want to overbake this cake, as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, remove the cake from the oven and let it rest in the pans for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Truffle Frosting

• 4 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup whipping cream

Stir constantly over a gentle simmer in the double boiler, just until melted and smooth throughout. You do not want this mixture to get hot, it should be just at the melting point and only lukewarm to the touch.

In a separate bowl, whip to firm peaks:

• 3 cups whipping cream

Add the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture in four portions, folding gently after each addition until the whipped cream is completely incorporated into the chocolate. 

At this point you will probably have to chill this frosting for a half hour or so in the fridge if it is too soft to work with. Just give it a quick fold with a rubber spatula every 10 minutes so that it cools evenly in the fridge.

Fill and frost the cake layers with the frosting and garnish with orange slices if desired. Chill the cake for a couple of hours before serving.

I made this cake for Peter's birthday this year.  It is DIVINE!  It tasted kind of like one of those chocolate oranges that we used to get in our stockings at Christmas.  Enjoy!
