There's nothing
like a pie
When you’re looking for a truly luscious dessert, con
sider a pie The creamy, delightful taste will almost more
than make up for that pound you are likely to add on from
a pie
But pounds or no pounds, making these recipes are
almost as much fun as eating them
Tonight try a creamy banana, chocolate or coconut pie,
as recommended by the American Dairy Association
One of the problems with cream pies in the past has
been to find a filling that’s full and tasty enough to still
slice neatly The proportions used in the recipe of one
tmrd cup of cornstarch to four egg yolks and three cups of
milk would suit a perfectionist The filling not only cuts
neatly, but also tastes delicious
Tomorrow night try a sour cream pie or a fluffly pud
ding pie
But anytime you bake a pie, try some of our no-fault pie
crusts for a flaky, delicious taste
