CARAMEL SAUCE

Emily and Melissa Elsen, the sisters behind famed pie shop Four & Twenty Blackbirds, use this simple caramel sauce as a key ingredient in their Salted Caramel Apple Pie (recipe available in Panna's "How to Make Pies" class). But it tastes just as great with ice cream, waffles-or even a spoon!

Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup Water
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), preferably 82% fat European butter
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Whisk sugar and water together in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium-low heat until the sugar is just dissolved. Add the butter and bring to a slow boil. Continue stirring over medium heat until the mixture turns a deep, golden brown color, almost copper.
  • Turn off heat; immediately but slowly add the heavy cream (use caution, as the mixture may bubble up rapidly). Whisk the final mixture thoroughly to combine, and set aside to cool. Makes about 2 cups.

FOUR AND TWENTY BLACK BIRDS BAKED IN A PIE

I use Recipe #300887 to make this pie when the king comes for dinner. It's always a hit with his nibs so I hope you will try it too. If you can' find four and twenty blackbirds at your supermarket just use a nice 3 1/2 to four pound broiler/fryer or all thighs or all white meat or any other poultry.

1 cup potato, diced peeled
1 cup white pearl onion, frozen (microwave for a few minutes to pre-cook them)
1 teaspoon flat leaf parsley, minced

  • Remove two cups of broth and stir in the Corn startch stirring well into the soup to thicken. When it has thickened enough for your taste, roll out and arrange bottom crust in 10" glass pie plate and brush with beaten egg white. Let dry a few minutes while you finish the filling.
  • Ladle Black Birds (or chicken) and veggie filling into pie shell and pour thickened soup over all. Be sure to do this on a sheet pan to keep your oven clean. Put top crust on and crimp edges. Cut steam vents in the shape of crows feet around the center of the top crust.
  • Beat yolk with a drop or two of cream and paint the top crust to give top crust a homey look.
  • Bake at 400" for 50 - 60 minutes. Cover with foil last 15 minutes if it becomes too brown for you.
  • Serve hot with a salad and the queen will think it is such a dainty dish.
