What was I thinking? I know that I can't keep the flour on the counter...and I knew that I was going to cook pies today. But what did I do? Just went ahead and vacuumed and mopped the kitchen floor first.
It all started when I had to open a new bag of flour and pour it into the flour container. The container is suppose to hold 5 lbs. It is a tight fit when there is nothing left in the container, but I still had some left. You know, just a little, but not enough to use in a recipe. I started transferring....about 4 Tablespoons missed the opening...onto the counter it went. O.K. that is the way it goes when you try to pour flour...a trickle or a clump falls out and misses. But, onto the crust. I made one crust for the chocolate pie...then decided that I wanted to make a buttermilk pie also. So, I mixed that crust. Oh, the first crust rolled out fine...nothing went over the edge and onto the floor. The second crust, not so. It wanted to fall apart, so I had little pieces floating around on the counter...along with the extra flour needed for rolling the crust. Is it only me that has a flour shirt and floor after making pies?
The chocolate is still cooling, but we "sampled" the buttermilk...Mmmmmm it was good. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buttermilk-pie/
The picture shows a skillet, but I just used a regular 9" deep pie plate.
So the messy kitchen was worth it.
I know what you mean!!! I just get so frustrated because after I mop, then I find another hair or piece of apple or I drop a piece of butter or...
