• In a separate bowl, whisk together water, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Stir into flour mixture and knead dough briefly, just until smooth. Allow to rest 15 minutes before rolling out. Pastry is easier to work with when chilled. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

FLAKY GINGER ALE PROCESSOR PIE PASTRY

Steps:

• In a food processor, process flour, sugar (if using) and butter with on/off turns (about 2-3 seconds at a time) until the mixture begins to look like coarse oatmeal.
• Combine the ginger ale with vinegar, and add through feed tube while machine is running; process just until the dough begins to gather in a mass around the blades (about 8-10 seconds, do not overprocess!).
• Dump the dough onto the counter.
• Gather up all the dough then shape into a flat disc.
• Wrap disc in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Dough may be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap then tightly in foil.

MEAT N' VEGGIE PIE

Steps:

• Make two pie crusts, using Moms Souper Easy Pie Recipe from this site or your own. I like to pre-cook the bottom shell for about 8 - 10 minute.
• Cook the minute steak flavor or spice as to your liking.
• Dice your veggies into small bite size pieces and add to a large bowl.
• Once the steak has cooled cut into small bite size pieces and add to the veggies.
• Prepare your gravy mix but only use 3/4 the amount of water for each package.
• Once cooled add to the mixture of veggies and meat. Mix well.
• Pour mixture evenly into the two pie shells, top with the crust, pinch edges and make a couple slits on the top.
• You can freeze them from here or cook in a 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour. The vegetables cook during this process.
• Serving size is 4 - 6 per pie.
