My Pies

I wanted to make pie and I learned how to make a pie crust but it was not flaky and the filling didn't work out that good. But It tried again and the next time I put a lattice on top and it tasted better but still not that good. Then I made a chocolate pie but it froze and it didn't taste that good. Then I made another apple pie and this time it turned out delicious the crust was flaky and I put egg yolk on the top crust so it looked even more beautiful. Then I made a Pumpkin one. It turned out good but I shouldn't have put lemon because are yogurt was already sour. Then I made a pecan pie and it was good and it was a little sweet. But it turned out great and the crust was flaky. Then I made a berry one and it turned out way to sweet and no one liked it. Then I made a savory pie called Quiche. It turned out great but it overflowed a little. None of my pies are perfect but the more you make the better you get. Sometimes if they don't turn out you should not give up and you should keep on going maybe add a little more water. I will give you the Recipe for the pie crust.

So the ingredients are 1 cup and 1/3 of a cup of flour

1/2 a teaspoon of salt

1/2 a teaspoon baking powder (optional)

1 teaspoon acid vinegar

2 and a half tablespoons ice cold water to 3 and a half

8 tablespoons butter

Now how to make it first cut the butter into two thirds and one third. Cut them into cubes and put them in bowls. But the larger amount of butter cubes in the fridge and the smaller amount in the freezer.  Now put the flour, salt, and optional baking powder in a bag and put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Now after 30 minutes take the flour mixture and mix it up in a food processor until combined. Now add the larger amount of butter cubes and pulse it until it resembles a coarse meal, add the smaller amount of frozen butter cubes and pulse it until there are pieces of butter no larger than a pea. Now add the smallest amount of ice water and vinegar. Pulse a few times. Pinch it if it holds together then it is ready, if it is crumbling in your hand add the rest of the water and vinegar. Now this is very important because if you don't put enough water and vinegar then it will crumble when you roll it out but if you add to much water and vinegar then it will shrink. So now put this on a plastic wrap and with the plastic wrap use your knuckles to compress it until it turns  into a disc or discs. Put it in the fridge for at least an hour. Meanwhile preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Take it out in an hour and flour you surface, rolling pin, and the top of the pie crust. Roll it out into 12" now put it in the pie plate and cut of the excess until there is about 1/2 an inch of dough hanging off the sides. Now roll it up into the pie crust and then crimp the edges however you want. Put it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes so the crimped edges stay. Take it out and put the filling in. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes then change it to 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

The Great Wall of China

The Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang made almost everyone in china to make a wall that would stop intruders and China would be safe. But the people said some parts of the land don't have any stone. But the emperor said figure it out. So they thought and at at last they had an idea, They would you dirt and pound it with their feet until it got solid. The emperor was happy and said that they should get started with the wall. So they built it for a long time and the emperor died and another emperor came and he ordered them to finish the Great Wall and build watch towers every few miles. And so they did and soon it was finished. It still stands today.

Augustus Ceaser

Augustus Ceaser was Julies Ceasers adopted son. He was better than Julies Ceaser and he was kind to the people and he conquered a few of the near by places then made peace with everyone. The people loved him and wanted him to be king. He arranged a meeting with the senate and he said that he had made them strong and made them healthy and there was peace. He said that they could rule. The senate didn't want him to be king because they thought that Rome would fall apart so they said that Rome would fall apart. So he became king and they lived good.
