The Museum of the Bible has nothing to do with the Bible.

Saturday Bake! Custard Berry Pie! 

5 Replies

This is NOT a dump cake!  But it is definitely worth every bit of effort you put into it.

This pie has a tender shortbread crust.

Tender Shortbread Crust

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons cold butter

1 large egg, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons 2% milk

In a workable bowl, whisk together the flour,  sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter till it’s crumbly.  Combine egg and milk; stir into flour mixture with a fork.

This dough is very sticky, so oil or spray your hands, and press the dough into a 9 inch pie plate that has been sprayed. Be sure to bring the dough up the sides. It should look like this:

Next, bake the empty pie crust for 8-10 minutes or until it is set. This crust may bubble up in the center due to the baking powder. Gently deflate any bubbles with the tip of a sharp knife.

Custard Berry Filling:

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups 2% milk

3 egg yolks, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons butter

1 & 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 pint heavy whipping cream

1 & 1/2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

1 pint strawberries, halved

1 cup blueberries

In a large saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt.  Add milk, stirring till smooth.  Cook and stir continually until thickened. This takes some time, so be prepared. It’s usually about 10-15 minutes stirring for me. It should be quite thick.

Ladle a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks and stir.  Then add the yolks to the sauce pan and cook and stir for two more minutes.   Remove from heat, and add butter and vanilla. Allow to cool for 20 minutes.

Gently use a rubber spatula to add the cooled custard to the baked pie shell. Smooth it out, and set in the refrigerator for at least four hours.  Better overnight. Whip the cream and powdered sugar, spread over pie evenly. Arrange berries on top. I have for special occasions,  made extra whipped cream, and piped it around the edge of the pie.

Saturday Bake!  Cottage Cheese Dill Bread!

Leave a reply

I usually alternate between sweet and savory. Today’s daily bread is savory.   It is bread machine friendly,  complete protein, and makes a great accompaniment to soup, salad, and is splendid for grilled sandwiches. I like it for cheese toast made in the toaster oven.

3/4 cup warm water

2/3 cup cottage cheese

1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 & 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

3 cups bread flour (if you make it by hand use all purpose flour)

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

1/2 teaspoon dill seeds

1 teaspoon yeast. I have been getting good results using bread machine yeast.

Add all ingredients ingredients to baking  pan in order listed. I ALWAYS spray the inside of the baking pan first.  

Be sure to make a well with the back of a spoon to put the yeast into. You do not want the yeast sinking into the wet ingredients! 

Place the baking pan into the machine, and set it to basic bread, 1.5 lb. loaf, regular crust, and turn the machine on. You will want to check after about 10 minutes to see if you need to add water or flour. Even with the add-ins, the dough should be smooth and rounded. If your dough is too wet, add flour, one tablespoon at a time. If it’s too dry, add warm water one tablespoon at a time. Smooth dough makes a better loaf.

Here is the beautiful cottage cheese dill bread, still slightly warm.  The aroma is mouth watering.

You can see my crumb saving bread cutting board. Homemade bread has a wonderful crust, which makes a lot of crumbs. I save these crumbs in the freezer to top casseroles of all kinds. And as a wonderful addition to meat loaf

Friday Proverb – Getting Over Yourself

Leave a reply

Last week’s Proverb was a beautiful exhortation to obedience. This week, we take a peek at the underbelly – the ego of man – that forever stands in the way of true fellowship with God, and meaningful spiritual growth. Proverbs 3: 7-8, is one of the most well known and beloved of all the Proverbs.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

What a barrier man’s ego is! Think of all the nations of the world, the religions of the world, all people – everywhere – completely, 100%, full of themselves. How did the Apostle to the Gentiles, Paul, handle the ego problem? This is especially important, because Paul, by anyone’s standards, would have had something to preen about. Paul was educated by Gamaliel, a preeminent Rabbi, one of only seven in history, and the very first  to be dignified with the title – “Rabban.”

The title “Rabban,” which, in the learned hierarchy until post-Hadrianic times, was borne only by presidents of the highest religious council, was. first prefixed to the name of Gamaliel.

1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2: 1-5

There are copious statistics demonstrating the benefits of strong Christian faith and its health benefits. Certainly, many followers of Christ have met an early death through religious persecution. But the facts are clear – those that follow the wisdom of God are healthier than those that follow the wisdom of the world. The statistics relating to sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, and substance and alcohol abuse are evidence enough.

Man second guesses God all the time. When presented with the Word – they respond – “Well, I don’t know about that.” 

Or – “To me, God isn’t like that.” 

How about – “Well, I believe this part of the Bible, but I don’t go for that other stuff. That’s not the God I believe in.”

There’s a sardonic saying out there – “I’m just not that into you.” Perhaps a more appropriate expression would be – “I’m really into myself.”
