Home made Sugar Pie on the BBQ!

My kids were in the mood for a sugar pie so I decided to make one with them and cook it on the BBQ. Sugar pie's is a French Canadian desert tradition. These are pretty easy to make but the crust can be a little tricky to make. Well let's get cooking!

Pie Dough

Ingredients

·        2 cups all-purpose flour

·        1 teaspoon white sugar

·        1 teaspoon baking powder

·        1/4 teaspoon salt

·        1 cup lard or 1 cup shortening

·        1/3 cup cold water

·        1 egg yolk

·        1 teaspoon vanilla extract

·        1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Directions:

1.    In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard until mixture resembles coarse meal.

2.    In a separate bowl, whisk together water, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Stir into flour mixture and knead dough briefly, just until smooth. Allow the dough to rest 15 minutes before you put it in the refrigerator for an hour. After the dough is chilled rolled and shaped it for your pie bowl!
