Who Needs Fine Crafted Ceramic When You Have Cast Iron?

Posted byVirtual FarmgirlPosted inUncategorized

Cast iron is the most awesome cookware.

And the best part? There is no way I’m going to bust up this pie dish.

After breaking at least three glass and ceramic pie plates and either losing or damaging my supposedly sturdy metal ones over the last five years, I hesitated to drop any more cash.

So I started rummaging around for a substitute. There it was, hanging right on my wall…a cast iron skillet.

I just pressed the dough in the bottom of the pan, added the filling and baked as normal.

Turned out pretty good. The crust was excellent, except for the middle…which was a little mushy. I’ll have to figure out how to get that part cooked through when I do the pumpkin pie surprise for Thursday.
