]]>The post 3 Secrets Behind the Perfect Homemade Pie Crust appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Keep Everything Cold
The first secret is all about temperature control. Keep your ingredients, especially the fat (be it butter, shortening, or lard). The reason? When cold pieces of fat melt in the oven, they release steam, creating those coveted flaky layers.
Don’t Overwork the Dough
When you mix flour with water, gluten begins to form. Gluten is great for bread, but not so much for pie crusts. The key is to mix just until the dough comes together. It’s okay if it looks a bit shaggy or crumbly. That’s actually a good sign.
Let the Dough Rest
Once mixed, the pie dough needs a good rest in the refrigerator. This rest period allows the gluten strands that have formed to relax, which in turn helps prevent shrinkage when baked. Additionally, this chilling time helps the fat solidify again, contributing to the flakiness of the crust. Aim for at least 30 minutes.

]]>Ingredients:
- 1 cup of (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans (for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out into an even layer with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to remain fudgy.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into squares or rectangles. Serve these indulgent fudge brownies on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy the rich, chocolaty goodness of these homemade brownies, savoring each decadent bite as you revel in the blissful indulgence.

]]>The post Have You Ever Made Cashew Nut Butter Before? appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Ingredients:
- 2 cups of raw cashew nuts
- Optional: pinch of salt, honey, or other sweeteners to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw cashew nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the cashews in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn.
- Allow the roasted cashews to cool slightly before transferring them to a food processor. Process the cashews in the food processor for about 5-7 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until they transform into a smooth and creamy consistency. The cashews will go through stages of finely ground, then clumping together, and finally, becoming smooth and buttery.
- If desired, add a pinch of salt, honey, or any other sweeteners to taste, and continue processing until well incorporated.
- Transfer the freshly made cashew nut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy your homemade cashew nut butter spread on toast, drizzled over fruit, or used as a dip for veggies. Experiment with different flavor variations to suit your taste preferences.
