Famous Recipes - Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie

Skillet Crust
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar,
and salt and set aside.

2. In a very large skillet over medium-low heat, melt
the butter gently–do not brown–then stir in the
vanilla. Add the dry ingredients from the bowl and
turn off heat. Using a wooden spoon, mix the
ingredients to form crumbs (they will be a bit clumpy,
but be persistent). Allow the crumbs to cool for
several minutes.

3. As soon as the crumbs are cool enough to handle,
transfer two cups of them to a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish
pie pan that has been buttered. Use your hands to
gently press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up
the sides of the pan. Reserve the remaining crumbs to
top the pie.

Filling
4 cups fresh rhubarb stalks, leaves removed, sliced in
1/4-inch thick crosswise slices

Famous Recipes - CLASSIC ORIGINAL "TEXAS" CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

CLASSIC ORIGINAL "TEXAS" CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

2 c. of all purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 c. milk 
2 c. Pure vegetable shortening for frying
4  pcs beef round steak - boneless

Place the round steak on a cutting board, trim and discard bone and excess fat. With a meat mallet, pound each
piece on both sides, going over meat twice in opposite directions. Set aside. Combine flour with salt and
pepper. Place a 10 inch, cast iron skillet (others will work but cast iron give the best results) over a
medium flame and add shortening to start heating. Dip the steaks in milk, then dredge both sides in the
seasoned flour, patting to work in the flour and seasonings. Test temperature of shortening by
sprinkling a few drops of milk into it. The milk should sizzle. Add steaks, taking care not to crowd them,
and cook until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked. This will take 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve
with cream gravy (below). 
Serves 4.

THE GRAVY:
3 c. milk
2 to 3 tbsp. all purpose flour
4 to 5 tbsp. pan drippings
Salt and pepper to taste
