This recipes makes 2 Easter pies with rice and pineapple filling. Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into chunks |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup uncooked white rice |
2 cups whole milk |
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese, drained |
1 cup white sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest |
6 eggs |
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained |
Directions:
1. Grease two 9-inch pie plates.
2. Pulse flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a food processor several times until combined.
3. Place butter into the flour mixture and pulse just until butter resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in 1 egg and vanilla extract; process until dough holds together, about 30 seconds.
4. Place dough on a well-floured work surface, divide in half, and roll each piece into a 9-inch round crust.
5. Fit crusts into the prepared pie plates and freeze for 1 hour.
6. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; stir in rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until rice has absorbed the water, about 20 minutes.
7. Stir milk into the rice and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, stirring often, about 10 more minutes. Set rice mixture aside to cool.
8. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
9. Beat ricotta cheese, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 6 eggs together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in cooked rice mixture and crushed pineapple until thoroughly combined.
10. Divide the filling between the 2 cold pie crusts.
11. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown, about 90 minutes. Cool on racks.
