Now I haven't tried it yet, but it smelled delicious when I made it last night at 11 o'clock last night. I was so afraid that it wasn't turning out right. I had mixed the butter and cream cheese, and then put the flour in it and tried to mix it with a spatula, but that wasn't working, so I had to mix it with my hands and I was trying to mix it without 'messing it up' too much. I heard that if you knead dough to much it will get tougher, but I don't think that that's the case with this. It doesn't seem to be affected, but we'll see when I bake it tonight.
There were a couple things about this recipe that bugged me. First, I didn't realize that it was for 48 servings instead of 8, so I made a ton (6 crusts), and then it doesn't have a baking time or temperature. How not cool is that? I'm pretty sure you are supposed to bake it because people kept saying that it was flaky, and it doesn't become flaky until it's baked. So I'm just going to have to guesstimate; which will be tons of fun.
But other than that, I should be making my 4th pie tonight. Well 4th pie for work. It's called 'Strawberry Oasis' Pie. It's basically a layer of chocolate and then strawberry yumminess... Then we have to wait a grueling 2 days for it to chill. Which is one of the reasons I'm doing it this early in the week. So it will be ready before too long.
I'm making a pie for fourth of July, probably some variation of the blueberry lemon pie, since it can be made to have all of the colors of the fourth.
Well until tonight!
