0:06
wonderful text from somebody out there

0:16

0:21

0:22
Paula I have been watching your
0:24
quarantine recipes on YouTube
0:26
thank you for doing this have one
0:29
question a friend and I came across a
0:32
recipe for water pie from the depression
0:36
have you ever heard of it or made it
0:38
sounds weird how water can be the base
0:42
of the pie and actually make a filling
0:44
let me know what you think well I tell
0:47
you what dawn I had never heard a water
0:50
pie have you ever heard of it no so
0:58
apparently our grandmothers and
1:02
great-grandmother's had a little bit
1:03
more than water and make their pies with
1:06
but I just thought it was so interesting
1:08
so Eddie went and got on the web and he
1:14
found a recipe but depression well one
1:20
just says water pie but another one says
1:23
depression-era
1:25
water pine so we're gonna try this and
1:29
dawn these ingredients yes see I mean
1:33
you got the ingredients but so Thank You
1:36
Don for bringing this to my attention
1:39
because I love doing new things now I
1:41
tell you what I'm gonna feel so weird
1:44
about doing this so the recipe y'all
1:52
says to pre-heat your oven to 400
1:55
degrees and set your empty pie crust on
1:58
a baking sheet pour one and a half
2:04
some water into the pie crust go Susie
2:10
if you mess up I think it's gonna be
2:12
like constable be running everywhere all
2:20
right it's it's in a small bowl stir
2:22
together flour and sugar you can just
2:26
add it to that one right there okay
2:36
there you go
2:38
start together flour and sugar sprinkle
2:42
evenly over the water in the crust don't
2:46
stir
2:47
okay so sprinkle evenly over water in
2:51
the crust this looks like something you
3:02
do in a kindergarten yeah
3:04
and it's mixed up good so you can't feel
3:07
the flour this just does not sound right
3:13
y'all
3:17
no eggs let me tell you about bread
3:20
pudding this does not go bad could tip
3:25
top with YouTube's you catch the bread
3:27
pudding like the king I'm glad yes
3:30
Francie wouldn't love this well I you
3:34
know I just love trying new things well
3:39
had you ever had a shoofly pie
3:40
I have happen Pennsylvania that's what
3:46
kind of nudge me up a little bit but
3:48
they things like molasses oh that yeah
3:54
now we're gonna get this butter to melt
3:56
in there no you don't you just lay it on
3:59
top but we've got to do our vanilla
4:00
first so now it says drizzle for Noah
4:05
and just it says two teaspoons and so I
4:13
guess we do some dress on it best you
4:15
can drizzle that little tiny bit of
4:19
vanilla sugar water all right yeah all
4:23
right I'm gonna just trying to watch out
4:28
that vanilla okay so now it said that
4:36
the thing that makes this pie so good is
4:40
that butter and you just lay it lay the
4:44
butter five pieces yes cause for five
4:49
tablespoons cut into five pieces
4:56
I'm telling you this is just amazing all
4:59
right so it's probably gonna be tomorrow
5:04
yes before it's gonna be cut about
5:07
because it's a bake at 400 for 30
5:10
minutes then reduce heat to 375 and
5:13
cover science of the crust if needed to
5:16
prevent it from burning continue cooking
5:18
for an additional 30 minutes Pam will be
5:21
watery when you pull it out of the oven
5:24
but will gel as it cools allow to cool
5:28
completely then cover in place in the
5:30
fridge until chilled before cutting so
5:33
it's gotten so late in the day that we
5:37
won't we won't be able to taste this
5:40
tonight but tomorrow in the morning when
5:44
we get up we're gonna come in here and
5:45
we gonna taste this chip I can't either
5:49
you want to open that oven door for me
5:51
and I will very gently oh my god don't
5:55
stumble Paula 30 minutes
6:15
yeah okay the pair is so striking I see
6:32
it done until tomorrow and will move
6:35
your back right here in this kitchen and
6:38
we'll have some water pipe maybe we have
6:40
to eat it with a straw or spoon but
6:46
that's all right if you like alright so
6:49
let's see what we got and believe in not
6:52
you started off at the cup and a half of
6:54
water in cup and a half of water pie
6:58
crust in a raw pie crust I thought great
7:01
time of day and it balls I'm hung ok
7:12
bubbles wanted to know when I when I had
7:14
these scissors out for and I rip play
7:18
and I've shown me all this before I do
7:20
remember but to me it just helps you get
7:24
that first piece out if I think I need
7:30
yes yes I'm just gonna come in here that
7:38
thing else so short short on that thumb
7:41
well I've already messed it up yes if
7:43
you just help hold that pint for me
7:45
please
7:47
you know that first piece is usually
7:50
very ugly trying to get it out but if
7:54
you'll cut that tenth hole and then
7:59
press it down scoop it up uh-huh
8:04
it just
8:06
helps that first piece to come out in a
8:09
pre feels like it's tough no I don't
8:28
think it had a crack this has had a few
8:30
cracks and I worked on smoothing it out
8:33
and so did you oh look ya'll it looks
8:39
like a custard time now if it will just
8:45
pass the taste test alright now let me
8:49
say this you know what this kind of pie
8:53
I think you could add lemon juice and
8:56
lemon zest or orange zest
9:01
you could add some cinnamon to it you
9:04
could add almond extract and make it
9:08
more um so this base you can take it a
9:11
long way but hopefully it's gonna be so
9:16
good yeah vegetables see see that's the
9:23
pinch yes just a pinch because we got to
9:27
make this thing pudding so it's all
9:32
about looks not changed so I say alright
9:36
that little piece was jagged uh-oh
9:41
