Fresh Pineapple Pie with Lattice Top

General Information:

Today we are looking ast some odds and ends. These recipes all have the common feature that we use chemical levening and all are very quickly made. Consequently, these have all found a place as breakfast foods. As always, please read the recipes closely before you come to class!  Check with the team before you to make sure they are on schedule.  All times are oven times. Plan to be here a half hour earlier to mix batters.
