Atlantic Beach Ncuav Qab Zib yog Khoom Qab Zib Koj Yuav Ua Txhua Lub Caij Ntuj Sov ntev

Bill Smith yog North Carolina cov khoom muaj nqis ua noj. Yog tias nws Crook's Corner thawj, Bill Neal cov keeb kwm yog cw thiab grits, Bill Smith's* legacy yog Atlantic Beach Pie.

Vim tias nws tau nrov lub ncuav qab zib hauv cheeb tsam yooj yim no, nws tsis yog ib daim ntawv qhia sau rau ntawm daim npav faded los yog hauv phau ntawv qub hauv zej zog. Nws tau dhau los ua "qhov" uas Ohio-based Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream tsim Atlantic Beach Pie tsw ob peb xyoos dhau los.

Ib qho kuv nyiam nco txog Bill Smith tau tuaj xyuas nws ntawm nws lub tsev noj mov, Crook's Corner, nyob rau hnub uas lub tsev noj mov raug kaw. Tab sis qhov tsis tau hais tias tsis muaj kev ua si hauv chav ua noj. Lub tsev noj mov raug kaw tab sis Bill nws tus kheej tau ua ntau ntau Atlantic Beach Pies rau ib qho kev tshwm sim tshwj xeeb uas nws tau tuav. Raws li peb hais, nws nqa daim ntawv tais tag nrho ntawm 9-nti pies nyob rau hauv thiab tawm ntawm qhov cub gracefully zoo li nws tab tom seev cev. Nws tau ua cov ncuav no ntau zaus uas nws tsis nco qab, txuas ntxiv peb cov kev sib tham zoo li peb tau zaum ntawm ib sab sib tham thaum so.

Zoo li Bill, kuv kuj loj hlob nrog cov tuab thiab creamy tart thiab qab zib txiv qaub ncuav qab zib. Kuv nco qab nws feem ntau los ntawm cov ntses pob qij txha hauv Morehead City uas hla tus choj ntawm Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. Nws kuj yog ib qho ntawm cov zaub mov yooj yim thiab tsis muaj pov thawj Ntxhais Scout uas peb pab tub rog ci nrog npaj ua mini graham-cracker pie shells.

Hauv kev tshawb fawb daim ntawv qhia no, kuv pom tias qhov filling yuav luag ib txwm, kua txiv qaub, txiv qaub thiab kua txiv qaub, lossis qee zaum tseem ceeb txiv qaub kua txiv; sweetened condensed mis nyuj thiab qe yolks. Qee zaus, txiv qaub zest thiab ib pinch ntawm ntsev tau ntxiv tab sis nws yog qhov tseem ceeb peb cov khoom xyaw. Lub ncuav qab zib feem ntau tau txais kev liab qab ntawm lub phaj uas koj tuaj yeem pom cov jiggle ntawm qhov txhaws, lossis qee zaum meringue - ua los ntawm cov qe qe dawb - topped nws.

Raws li kuv tuaj yeem nco qab, lub ncuav qab zib feem ntau yog ua los ntawm pre-made graham cracker crust uas zoo tab sis tsis zoo. Thaum kuv nyeem cov ntawv qhia zaub mov hauv zej zog cookbooks, kuv pom tias vanilla wafers thiab Ritz crackers kuj tau siv los ua cov crust.

Feem ntau, lub ncuav qab zib tau teev cia yooj yim li Txiv qaub ncuav qab zib. Koj tuaj yeem nrhiav tau daim ntawv qhia muaj cai Lemon Icebox Ncuav Qab Zib, Down East Lemon Pie, lossis txawm Lemon-Milk Pie tab sis txhua leej txhua tus paub tias nws yog qhov txias, creamy sweetened condensed mis nyuj-txiv qaub ncuav qab zib.

Bill Smith re-npe lub ncuav qab zib Atlantic Puam Pie nyob rau hauv kev hwm ntawm lub tsev ntses thiab cov kev lig kev cai ntawm noj no tart txiv qaub ncuav qab zib tom qab noj nqaij nruab deg. Nws hais tias nws niam qhia nws tias lwm yam khoom qab zib tom qab nqaij nruab deg yuav ua rau ib tus mob. Txawm hais tias qhov ntawd yog qhov tseeb lossis tsis yog, nws muaj tseeb hauv North Carolina tias cov khoom qab zib txiv qaub yog qhov nyiam "xaiv" tom qab cov ntawv qhia zaub mov.

Bill tsis tau thov kom tau tsim lub ncuav qab zib, tab sis nws yeej nyiam nws. Kuv tus kheej xav tias nws txhim kho nws. Cov txuj ci tseem ceeb ntawm Bill Smith's Atlantic Beach Pie yog buttery saltine crust thiab cov whipped cream tiag tiag rau saum. Qhov zoo tshaj plaws tom yog me ntsis ntawm crunchy me ntsis qab zib thiab qab ntsev crackers uas muaj cov mis nyuj qab zib tart jiggly ncuav qab zib thiab mos pillowy whipped cream. Nws yeej yog OMG zoo thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov laj thawj tiag uas nws tau dhau los ua ib yam!

Muaj cov zaub mov txawv nyob rau ntawd uas siv qe dawb los yog pob kws phoov los khi lub crust, tab sis koj tsis tas yuav ntxiv lawv. Yog tias koj xav tau, koj tuaj yeem ntxiv me ntsis butter kom cov crumbs ci khov kho.

Kuv tau yoog Bill daim ntawv qhia siv lub 8-nti square pan nrog lub hau kom cov khoom qab zib yooj yim thauj thiab koj tuaj yeem tau 12 squares tawm ntawm "pie." Kuv nyiam kuv cov whipped cream dawb uas tsis muaj suab thaj kom nws sib npaug tawm cov qab zib ntawm cov mis nyuj condensed tab sis yog tias koj nyiam cov khoom qab zib, ntxiv me ntsis suab thaj rau cov cream.

Txawm li cas los koj ua hauj lwm rau nws, nws yog ib qho khoom qab zib zoo heev coj mus rau ib qho kev tshwm sim lossis noj mov - nrog lossis tsis muaj nqaij nruab deg. Peb muaj Bill ua tsaug rau kev nqa "lub ncuav" rov qab rau peb lub caij ntuj sov lub rooj.
