Simple Quick Favorite Sweets for the Holidays

Описание: Simple Quick Family Favorite Sweets for the Holidays

Pie Crust

5 cups of flour
1 lb lard
1 tsp salt
¾ cup lukewarm water
2 TBSP vinegar

Cut the lard into the flour and salt mixture and the vinegar in to the water. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until everything comes together in a ball. There is enough dough here to make 3 double crust pies. For this video I cut the dough ball into 4, placed each ball into a plastic bag and then into the fridge until I was ready to use them or at least 20 minutes.

Prize Butter Tarts

1 egg beaten
1/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 TBSPS of milk
½ cup raisins
½ cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Mix all of the ingredients together and then spoon into prepared tart shells. Fill 2/3 or ¾ full and bake in a preheated 450-degree oven for 8 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and cook a further 15 to 20 minutes.

Butterscotch Squares

¼ butter
½ cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup butterscotch chips
8 oz bag of multi colored marshmallows

Line an 8 X 8 inch dish with waxed or parchment paper. Put the butter, butterscotch chips and peanut butter into a large microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for about 40 second, stirring half way through. Immediately upon removing from the microwave add the marshmallows and mix through. Dump into your lined dish and press down. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before cutting into squares.

Shortbread

1/c cup of corn starch
½ cup icing or powdered sugar
1 cup flour
¾ cup of butter

Mix the dry ingredients together. At this point you can either add the butter and place on a stand mixer or mix the butter in with a wooden spoon. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 ½ inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet; flatten with floured fork. Bake at 300 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
