American Flag Pie with Homemade Pie Crust

American Flag Pie,  is made with a homemade pie crust that brings this pie to a rich balance of buttery flakiness as well as a luscious sweet-tart taste of homemade pie filling.    My Mother taught me long ago that a pie is only as good as the crust.  There is some high quality ready made pie crust in the stores today, but when I was growing up, that was not the case. I learned to make pie dough from my Mother and perfected it in my Home Economics class in high school. I recommend making a homemade pie crust if at all possible.  For the American Flag Pie recipe, I use one of my favorite pie crust recipes.

Kolache Biscuits

Kolach Biscuits, tender, sweet biscuit dough with a well in the center filled with blackberry or strawberry jam, blueberry or cherry pie filling,  or a mixture of sweetened cream cheese.   Kolache Biscuits are a cross between a sweet pastry that originated in Europe including eventually making its way to a little town in central Texas and the classic biscuit that is popular all over the south.  

Challah French Toast Recipe

Challah French Toast Recipe, fluffy thick sliced Challah bread dipped in a creamy egg mixture until soaked through but not soggy then fried in sizzling butter.  Ideal to serve for brunch, weekend family breakfast, or like we do for weeknight dinner. French toast is one of those foods that remind me of my childhood when my Mother would make it on Saturday morning during the winter months.   The house would be so cold in the mornings.  We had open flame heaters in the living room and bathroom.  She would light the oven in the kitchen for heat too as she started the bacon cooking.    French toast is comfort food for breakfast that will warm you up fast.  Mother's french toast on cold Saturday mornings is still one of my favorite memories of her in the kitchen.
