[@marilynmanuel8770]

Hi ruthann ...for years I was a pastry chef..my pastry was always excellent up until my stroke then everything went south. No matter how much I tried it wasn't good anymore...it always was so hard or would slip into the pie plate. But....watching you step by step...ltoday I made 2 pies and thks soooo much not only for your recipe but for step by step Making Pastry. HURRAY! today was a success and have my mojo back. Love you and your precious family

Glad you got your mojo back. Ruth Ann really is a great teacher.

[@wrennspencer6070]

My grandmother never measured anything, but to keep everything light, she sifted flour into a bowl that had a lid, then scooped out what she needed. She always used lard or real butter (that she made) & her pies, cakes & biscuits were mouthwatering! She did everything by look & texture because room temperature & different ovens' temps matter so much. She learned on a wood stove & when I was really small, she still roasted meat & stews in a big iron dutch oven over an open fire. Her kitchen had a fireplace with a hinged iron holder/hook so she could hang it on the iron "stick" then push it over the open fire. That was some very good eating!

My wife and I live your videos. Your life reminds me of my childhood; the youngest of 11 children on an Arkansas farm. You are very good at explaining what you're doing. I live the milk cows and all you do with the dairy. My mom was milking when she began having labor pains with me. Called my sister to finish God bless

[@sandraschick1916]

RuthAnn you are such a GREAT teacher! I'm 70 and I've learned more from watching your videos than I have in the whole rest of my life combined, and I've been cooking since I was 9! THANK YOU so very much❣️ 🥰

[@Bad_Meach]

Here’s the recipe I use for Pecan pie. 1 box - Light brown sugar 4 Eggs - beat with a spoon to mix white & yellow of eggs 2 Tbsp. - Water 2 Tbsp. - Corn meal 1 Tsp. - Vanilla 2-1/2 cups - Chopped pecans 1 stick - Butter Mix all together in pot on top of the stove. Cook until it gets thick - not to thick to pour! Pour into two 9” pie shells Bake at 325 - 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes

[@lisagraves3873]

I can't use your recipe because it uses corn meal. Thats the reason, well the biggest reason, for looking for a non-corn syrup recipe. I have a corn allergy. I prob had it for yrs b4 I got tested & found out & alot more ppl most likely have an allergy to it also, even if its a slight 1, ppl can get stomach aches or itchy skin. I claw my skin & get bad stomach upset. Corn is not broken down by our bodies. The corn mentioned in the Bible is not the same as the corn we get in today's world, so flour would be a healthier option for all. But most of all Corn syrup itself is really bad for ppl. I use healthier flour alternatives also & I get those from a local Amish store, who runs them on sale near the holidays, but now Krogers carry them also & Walmart has a fw options, but they are most expensive. Bobs Red Mill brand. They do have other brands too. Happy baking!

[@lisagraves3873]

I did notice you only use 2 eggs per pie & I see that other places also & am wondering if its worth wasting 4 extra eggs to make 2 pies, with the price of eggs these days, so I may use 2 eggs per pie also.

[@Bad_Meach]

@ The recipe makes two pies if you use 9” pie shells. Also, corn meal is another name for corn flour.

[@clarenceabel8149]

I'm so glad that you used lard and NOT butter. Then rolled out and did not say refrigerate!!!! My mom made 4 pies every week😊. (mom was 40 when I was born). I loved loved when you used a knife to trim the crust. Made me nostalgic of when I was child and watched my mom make pies. Thanks again

[@Holly-hl1vm]

I was shocked when she didn’t chill the dough and the rolled out pie crusts! I’ve been making my dough too dry - looking forward to trying it this way.

[@rebeccaday7076]

I went to a Amish flea market last week. I got my lunch and a piece of pecan pie. Oh my!!!! It did not taste like total sugar. It also had a really smooth, creamy texture to the stuff under the pecans. You could really taste the nuts the most. I asked one of the Amish ladies if she knew of anyone with the recipe. She told me that alot of the ladies in Clare Mi got together and made a cookbook with all their favorite recipes. I went to the Amish store and found it. It also has something called everything cookies. Yummm! I really love your videos. You are such a peaceful soul.

[@Shalompaz-m7w]

But can you please give us the name of the book? Thanks.

[@fishnlady]

It would have been nice if the name of the cookbook was given.

[@tagladyify]

You could likely do a search for Amish cook book Claire MI.

Cut the weird music please

[@rebeccaday7076]

My mom used to make the best crust and pies. She took the leftover crust and rolled it out. Put it on a cookie sheet and poke holes all over it. Then she sprinkled sugar on it and cooked it. That was a very special treat back then .

[@pixiekoetter4480]

My mom did the same thing only cinnamon sugar, remember watching treat cook..eagerly. was thinking about it as your pile of discards grew. Yum! 😊

[@robinmiller3863]

Ruth Anne, I love everything you do. Thanks for taking the time to teach us how it’s done.

[@LindaSmith-xz7ey]

Thank you Ruthann for all that you do to help others. I used to use shortening for years then changed to lard and now butter. In 2021 is when my daughter and I started a pie company together. She never ever made a pie. I taught her. I have left the business for health reasons. She is doing very well. She even made a grape pie.

[@missa1goins]

Grape pie? Sounds interesting.

[@lovenothate2023]

That is the best explanation for measuring flour that I've ever seen before. You actually created the visual. I absolutely love watching you and listening to your tips. I love how your family interacts together at the dinner table and cleaning up after the meals (from previous videos I've watched) That is why I signed up for your website as well. You are just a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your down to earth, pleasant and straight forward approach! God Bless! 🙏

[@dianekelly995]

I also use BUTTER for my pie crust. I refrigerate about 30+ minutes.

[@sandranelson8445]

Lovely video. Thanks

[@elizabethpolhemus4230]

Ruth Ann you are such a blessing. So many people are looking for alternatives to store bought and prepackaged food.

[@laurarochester3054]

Thank you so much for going in-depth on the pie crust making. I can’t seem to master crust making and I definitely learned I’ve been overworking the dough by watching you. So very helpful! Thanks again and God bless!

[@Kentucky2Country]

I love pecan pie, it’s my favorite. You are a expert pie crust maker, they look better then anyone’s I’ve ever seen. You make it look so easy.

[@galeharris6696]

My partner has tried to make pie crust from videos before, but they all stress very tiny amounts of water and barely working the mixture at all. He ends up with a pile of dry crumbs when he follows the instructions on the others, but I'm going to have him watch you make this pie crust, which is so much like my stepmom used to make. She was, like you, a master at pie crust making, and I know he would get the process if he watched you. Thank you, RuthAnn.

[@rebeccasladky1138]

I remember as a child my mother making pie crusts. I would love to take the scraps and dunk them in the pumpkin pie filling. So yummy.

[@charlene-allgood]

My mother always used lard. Lard brings so much more flavor to the crust than vegetable shortening.

[@oakmaiden2133]

Both lard and shortening are flavorless.

[@GillianMcGeorge-Cruikshank]

I use half lard and half cold butter. I love vintage cook books.

[@GillianMcGeorge-Cruikshank]

@@oakmaiden2133 By using half lard and half butter you get the best of both, flaky and buttery.

[@robertaorres8019]

I find lard was hard to work with, made the crust hard to handle. Maybe it is just me.

[@beverly3397]

I cannot get pure lard in my town!

[@marymoss5042]

Ruth Ann, you are so upbeat and positive. I love your channel and watch your videos every day. I adore your inclusion of your children and family life tidbits. Keep up the good work!!!

[@CindyKinney]

I found this so relaxing to watch you make and roll out your pie crusts. It's obvious you've done this a time or two. The end result looked so delicious.

[@terrisouthernplainsprepper5927]

Love the idea of no corn syrup. I can definitely tell you have made many pies, you make it look so easy.

[@momof2momof2]

It's so nice to see someone else, like me, who does not put their pie dough in the fridge I don't know where that silly idea ever came from. I've been baking pies and other wonderful things for decades, just teaching myself. Your pecan pie looks delicious. I think the use of maple syrup is ideal for this type of pie.

[@biddibee3526]

If ppl use butter for their crust it’s best to keep it cold so that the butter doesn’t melt and allow air into the doe Ppl tend to prefer flaky crust and refrigeration tends to insure that.

[@missa1goins]

A silly idea? For the bakers who prefer butter...the butter has to stay could during the process, chilling the dough for a few minutes before filling is great for flaky and tender crust.

[@senoreljoynes6442]

This is so cool to see because a couple weeks ago I used a similar idea to make an apple pecan pie by using apple syrup which I made by boiling down apple juice. I imagine this maple syrup based pie has a maple flavor to it, which my niece would absolutely love.

[@neldakyzar1495]

Ruth Anne you are such an inspiration to me. I absolutely love watching every one of your posts. I have watched several over and again. Your family is so special and I love the way you are raising them to be such wonderful adults. Thanks for sharing. You never share too many to suit me. I wish you could post one every week for sure. God bless you and yours.

[@missa1goins]

Nostalgia...the measuring cups and clothesline, the dough rolling is satisfying too!

[@kathiwalker8714]

Wow! I really enjoyed your video with the added pie crust demonstration. The pecan pie pie must taste amazing with the maple syrup , definitely a must try! Thank You So very much for sharing your Pecan pie recipe 😊

[@joycejudd5109]

thank you for this. And: I am older, and many in my age group may not have all their teeth. I began a few years ago fine-chopping my pecans - or whatever nuts - so that those who need it are better able to enjoy a taste of pecan pie. many have said thankyou, and no one else has mentioned it.

[@shannonstepp4848]

Hi, I just stumbled across your website and I have only watched a couple so far. But it's refreshing to see that people still cook and bake from scratch. My grandma made everything from scratch , right down to her noodles. And my mom made some things from scratch. Unfortunately they were the kind of women that didn't want children under foot. So we didn't get to learn any of those recipes. So thank you for creating your channel. I subscribed and look forward to trying your recipes.

[@DianeHart-h2j]

Thanks for the step by step on making pie dough. My mother always had a pie making day and would make upwards to 15 pies and then freeze them. For some reason I never got the knack for making the crust. I'm going to try again. Thanks Ruth Ann! ❤️

[@rachelskaggs7847]

Pecan pie is one of my absolute favorite pies! I love that the corn syrup is excluded.

I’m from the south and we love our pecan pies. Thanks Ruthann for including and demonstrating how to make the crust. I’m not great at crust making but I’m going to try making yours and see if I do better. Thank you for being a detailed teacher, it’s what I need to learn and learning by site. You always do a great job teaching us. God bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving in advance.

[@cathys949]

I 'm so glad you said you like your dough a little sticky instead of too dry!! Nothing makes me madder than rolling out a crust and have it crack all around the edges. Grrrr!! Most TV cooks stress not using too much water, and letting it rest to hydrate. I like your method a lot better!!

[@sharonlatour6230]

Ruth Anne, WOW! Thank you for both recipes!

[@gabbic8778]

I’m so happy to see a pecan pie recipe without corn syrup! Also, watching you make pie crust reminds me of how my grandma made it & inspires me to try to make it on my own- I’ve been shamefully using store bought crust bc I’ve been intimidated, but you reminded me how easy it is! Thank you!!

[@dottieholmes1623]

Another alternative is a southern chess pie which is a Scottish pie simular to the English pecan pie. The southern chess calls for brown sugar instead of corn syrup and walnuts instead of pecans. The taste and texture are almost identical to the pecan pie.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

I’m going to try to find that Southern Chess Pie recipe. I love walnuts!

Kate, thank you for this pecan pie recipe without using karo syrup😂!! I love making them, but realizing the unhealthy side of Karo, I have been looking for this. I love your pie recipe ,too. I do not have lard or tallow, so I use my good old stand by, butter but I increased from 1 c to 1 &1/2 c! Beautiful!! Thank you. I wish I had been instructed in your Mennonite ways coming up. I enjoy doing things from scratch, quilting and crocheting. I just need to learn how to garden now!!😮😅 Thank you for everything Mennonite!!

[@carmenallocco6497]

Ruthann you are my go to for healthy and no problem baking. Today I will attempt a pie crust. My grandma used to make apple pies and they were excellent. Don’t really like apple pie anymore probably because we had them on a weekly basis. However I never made a chocolate pie which I really like and will also try a pecan pie. My wife hates greasy pie crust I’m hoping the lard will make a difference. Love watching your videos and loving family. The Christmas cookies show was on the top of the list. That was a lot of cookies.

The thing, though is that formal recipes are scaled so that 1 cup has the specific amount of weight of flour based on spooning it in rather than packing it in. So the comparable weight is built based on a specific style of filling it.

I only use real maple 🍁 syrup when i make butter tarts or certain pies. You just need to cook the maple syrup slowly, keep stirring until it thickens like corn syrup. Makes a much nicer tart or pie.
