    Ingredients:
    345g (2½ cups) all purpose flour
    15 mL (1 Tbsp) sugar
    3 mL (3/4 tsp) salt
    240g (1 cup) chilled butter, cut into ½" cubes
    90 mL (6 Tbsp) approx. ice water
    Method:
    Cut up butter and put in the freezer.
    Add half the flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine.
    Add the frozen butter and pulse to create what looks like peas coated in flour.
    Add the remaining flour and pulse a few more times.
    While pulsing, slowly drizzle in the cold water.

    Dump the crumbly dough out onto the counter, and carefully bring together with your hands.
    Divide in two, pat each half into a disk.
    Wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.

    I continue to LOVE the ‘no music’ aspect of your channel. It really lends to the relaxed feeling of being in your kitchen. - also, I saw a Good Eats episode on pie and Alton placed a 2nd pie tin into the 1st one (on the dough), inverted it and par baked it that way. Like you he said this avoids shrinkage and also allows any fat to drop off that might otherwise pool at the bottom. That last part seemed a bit extreme, but seemed like a good technique. Never tried it.

      Yes. I'm a professional musician and if there's something I hate its background music. If the music is good, I want to hear it unobstructed, if it's bad I don't want to hear it.

    I've noticed you've got a North American, lower-case "pyrex" pie dish - soda lime glass. If you can find them, look for the upper-case "PYREX" dishes that are made in France from borosilicate glass, like vintage pyrex used to be made from.

    This is the coolest pie I've ever seen. Never heard of date custard, date pie, or date custard pie. In the ancient world, dates were subsistence food all in many places in Asia, Africa, and southern Europe. In the US, many people never tried dates and some think they're candied fruit. There's literally hundreds of varieties of dates and they can be very different from each other and different varieties can be consumed at different stages of ripening. Great video Glenn 👍. Julie is very lucky 😉

    Glen, Jules & friends of PI. First to answer your question, Blueberry. and one observation. I always egg wash my bottom crust thoroughly to make it 'water proof' perhaps sog-proof is closer to the truth. I like a pie to maintain it's bottom integrity even if I have it in the fridge a couple of days, they never seem to last longer than that. From my reading of cookbooks from all around the world I've come to expect that there is nothing that I've ever discovered in the kitchen that hasn't been already found out by the billions of world cooks over the centuries, even my failures hehehe. Thanks for this slice of Canadian Thanksgiving, I do adore dates. Jim Oaxaca Mexico

The result was terrible, uncomfortable constipation, yes I admit it. I was miserable the first few days. I remembered that dates are packed with fiber and they were served at every single meal so I began to eat 4 or 5 or more every day and it did help. Now I gladly eat them voluntarily.

  • @hotlavatube
    @hotlavatube 2 года назад

    The egg wash of the parbaked shell reminds me of a La Pâte de Dom's technique for making Pâte Sucrée. However, in their recipe the tart shell is baked after the egg wash, then lightly dusted while hot with powdered sugar. The end result is a shiny lacquered-like pie tart shell impervious to wet fillings. Of course, that tart shell recipe is for filings that don't need further cooking.

    This 68 year old Canadian has never heard of date custard pie. It may be traditional in Glen's family, but I do not think that tradition is widespread. The rest of us Canadians eat Pumpkin pie, apple pie, lemon meringue, cherry, raspberry, peach, rhubarb, strawberry, blueberry. My late mother's favourite pie was blueberry.

    Raspberries! But since they are much less sweet than dates, I'd either sweeten the custard or cover the berries in sugar and let sit as one normally does for raspberries.

    • @rosaliepeck9623
      @rosaliepeck9623 3 года назад

      my grandmother would make what we called a finzel pie(don't have any idea @ the spelling ) which was made by putting berries or rhubarb in the pie shell then mixing milk, eggs, and sugar together and pouring it on top. Bake till the custard sets. The fruit would bleed into the custard and float enough to be showy at the top of the pie. Pretty and delicious!

    Also, for poking holes in the crust, is it puncturing straight through with the utensil hitting the pie pan or is poking without going all the way through the dough? I might be overthinking it, but it will keep bothering me.

    I once made a sticky toffee pudding recipe that called for a portion of chopped dates to be cooked down with baking soda. The dates reduced very quickly into a syrupy paste: perhaps something like that could be mixed with the custard for a date soufflé effect.
