How to make your own barbecue pies
Craft pies, sometimes referred to as "barbecue pies", have become a staple in the south.
In the last few years, the pie industry has taken off in the US.
In 2017 alone, there were over 200,000 pies in production, according to The Food Network.
Some of these pies have gone on to become a part of barbecue festivals across the country.
Here's what you need to know about these delicious pies.
What is a pie?
A pie is a flat pastry filled with meat, often seasoned with spices, and baked at a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (77 degrees Celsius).
It's traditionally made of butter, flour, eggs, milk and sugar.
What are the ingredients used to make a pie, and what is the cooking process?
Pie crusts are baked to a uniform, flaky surface.
They can be made of bread, a roll or a biscuit.
The pie itself is then filled with a mixture of ingredients including butter, sugar, salt, and pepper.
How do pie recipes differ from other kinds of pies?
Pie recipes vary from country to country, but they usually use the same ingredients: butter, cream cheese, eggs and flour.
They typically contain around two ingredients: the butter and flour, as well as the spices.
What kind of pie crusts should I use?
The best-known recipe for a pie crust is the one made by American pastry chef Michael Pollan, who is best known for his "Pants on Fire" cookbook series.
Pollan's crust is made from a mixture from the butter, oil and salt, which he describes as "a little like a pie in texture but with a crisp, chewy edge."
What should I cook my pie with?
Pie is best served at room temperature.
To prevent burning, it can be placed on a baking sheet with a side of foil.
If it's not too hot, it will cook through easily.
How much pie do I need?
You can eat a pie as small as a 6-inch (15-cm) pie.
The more you eat, the bigger it gets.
Can I make a pizza using a knife?
Yes, you can.
The tip of a kitchen knife can be used to slice a pie.
This technique works best for pies made with a butter and sugar mixture.
A butter knife can also be used, as it's much easier to slice with one.
Is it okay to make my own pies?
The best-selling cookbook, "Pantry," describes how to make pies from scratch using ingredients such as "whipped cream" and "white sugar."
What's a barbecue pie?
A barbecue pie is basically a pie made with barbecue meat and a sauce.
In 2018, the United States produced about 20 million pies.
That's about 10 percent of all US pies, according the USDA.
The recipe for barbecue pie includes ground beef, onions, tomatoes, sausage, and barbecue sauce.
