Graham Cracker Crust

1 egg white
2 tbs brown rice syrup
4 graham crackers (crushed fine)
1/4 – 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or more)
1 tbs water

Beat egg to frothy state, blend in rice syrup. Stir in crushed graham
crackers, add 1/3 cup whole wheat flour and water (perhaps only a tsp
of water at a time). Get it to a ball which you can knead between your
fingers. Roll it out (on parchment paper, preferably) to the size of a
8 inch piepan, gently peel the parchment paper off the crust as you are
settling it into a non-stick or lightly swiped w/oil piepan. Bake 350F
for about 10 minutes, or add piefilling if you plan to bake them together.

This should go good with apple pies, or strong flavored pies. It was
used for my orange squash “cheesecake” which is a refrigerator pie, and
my opinion was it was too strong flavored for that. All the wholewheat
may have contributed to this. Crust cuts fine, is non-sticky, and has
good piecrust consistency. It doesn’t flake, but it does bake (errr).
Four graham crackers yielded 4 grams of fat in total (because of the
brand used).

Title: Ann Kathleen McKay’s Strawberry Cake a la Dacquoise
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Masterchefs, Frisco, Relf
Yield: 16 servings

1 ea Genoise, 9-inch ** 1 pt Strawberries
2 c Buttercream ** Strawberry leaves, and
1/4 c Eau de Vie Framboise — flowers
— (raspberry brandy) 12 ea Fraise des bois with stems
1 c Creme fraiche — (wild strawberries)
1/2 c Cream, heavy — (optional)

** Recipes for this ingredient are elsewhere in this database.

Cut one of the two 9-inch genoise in two. These “half-layers” will be
the top two layers of the cake. The whole genoise will be the bottom.
Sprinkle each of the three genoise layers lightly with 2 tablespoons of
Framboise.

Flavor 2 cups of buttercream with 1 tablespoon of Framboise.

Whip the creme fraiche and heavy cream together to form stiff peaks.
Add 1/4 cup of creme anglaise and 1 tablespoon Framboise and continue
whipping until stiff peaks form again.

If the strawberries are small, slice them in half lengthwise. If they
are larger, slice them crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.

Spread the full thick layer of genoise (which will be the bottom of
the cake) with one-third of the buttercream. Arrange sliced berries around
the perimeter of the cake, with the cut side out. Continue to cover the
bottom of the cake with half of the berries and spread with half of the
whipped cream-creme anglaise mixture.

Repeat the same process for the second layer of genoise then place the
final layer on top and spread with a thin layer of buttercream. Smooth
nicely.

With a small star tip on a pastry pipe, make an attractive border
around the top of the cake with the remaining buttercream. (You can add
food coloring to the buttercream at this point if desired.)

Arrange the fraise des bois (wild strawberries with their stems) along
the perimeter of the cake then garnish with strawberry leaves and flowers.

Refrigerate for 2 – 4 hours before serving.

Preparation time: 1 1/2 hours
