Hey guys it's Ro, welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be baking something to honor "Pi Day"!
It is coming up March 14th for 3.14, so today we are gonna be making Pi Pie Pops!
Let's get started!
The things you will need, will be: pie crust, you can make your own from scratch or I found
this one in The Refrigerated Section at the grocery store.
They already have pre-made ones so it's super easy!
Flour, cherry pie-filling, a baking sheet, lollipop sticks, a fork
a rolling pin, 1/2 tablespoon, a circle cookie-cutter- This one is 2 1/2 inches.
"Number" cookie-cutters, these are really just little ones I could find.
And this little Pi-symbol. I cut it out of a piece of paper,
and this little jobber!
Let's put it all together!
The first thing that we're gonna do is roll out our pie crust and cut our shapes!
So you're gonna take a little bit of flour...
Took a lil' pinch of flour...there we go!
So we don't want our pie crust to stick to the table.
And, the instant-ones come with two rolls of pie crust which is perfect!
One for the top, one for the bottom,
and you're just gonna gently roll them.
Oooooooh!
Like this.
Put a little bit of flour on the top,
so it won't stick!
Then you're gonna take your round cookie-cutter and just cut out a bunch of them.
Boop!
Then you're gonna peel off the excess dough,
stick it over here, and then you're gonna take, these are gonna be the bottom part.
We are gonna put 'em onto the baking-sheet.
Now we're gonna roll out our second crust.
Take your circle cookie-cutter again and now we're gonna cut out pieces that will be the
top of the pie!
All right, peel off the excess dough...
And then these ones we're gonna decorate.
So I'm gonna leave them right here in front of me.
Now I'm gonna take the little "Number Cookie-Cutters" and I'm just gonna cut out...
3...
1...
and 4!
Just push out the little numbers!
And then you can stick 'em right on the top of your circles.
Once you've got all your little numbers on there, now you're gonna take this little Pi-symbol
that I cut out and put it on top of some extra dough,
and take this little jobber, or you can take a small knife, and then I'm just gonna
cut out a bunch of little Pi-symbols and stick 'em on the additional pie-tops!
Once you've decorated all your little pie-tops, now we are gonna put these things together!
You're gonna take your teaspoon and you're gonna scoop some cherry pie-filling into the
middle of all these little pies!
Yum, yum, yum, yum yumm!
[singing] "Sweet Cherry Pieeeeee!"
That's a song....
For those of you guys who don't know...
[singing] "Sweet Cherry Piee!" Duwn, neown, duh-neer! Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh, neew-neer-neerm!
Nowwww, take your lollipop- .....sticks...
aaaand you're gonna, um, stick 'em right here- hah-ha!
I'm putting 'em about halfway down...
...really pressin' it into the pie.
Now we're gonna take this little jobber- Meee-meeee-meeee-meeee!
He looks like a little rubber, uh, paintbrush,
and you're gonna dip him into a little bit of egg-wash.
Egg-wash is just egg-whites and a little bit of water.
Dip 'em in there,
and you're just gonna put a little bit around the edges so that the top of the pie
will stick to the bottom of the pie.
Now you're gonna take your "flipper,"
pick up the top of the pie
aaaand place it down on the top!
I'm just lightly pinching it down.
Then to get your pie crust to really stick together, you're gonna take a fork and go
around the edges,
all the way around and just press down like that!
Once you've got your pie-pops all together, now you're just gonna take your egg-wash one
more time.
Dip it in there- Your lil'brush in there- and just lightly brush a little bit on the
top of each pie.
Now they are ready for the oven!
You're gonna heat your oven to 425 and you're gonna bake these for 12 minutes but keep your eye on 'em!
As soon as they start to turn a little bit golden-brown, they're ready! Take 'em out!
Ta-daaaaa!
Here are our Cherry Pie Pi Pops that we made today!
They're so cute, but these were really easy to make and I hope this gives you some good
ideas for March 14th: Pi Day!
