CRAWFISH PIE
Steps:
- Add bell pepper, onion and celery to butter and saute until tender. Add crawfish fat and simmer covered 10 minutes. Add crawfish tails, green onions and remainder of seasonings. Thicken if necessary with a little cornstarch and let cook long enough to thicken gravy.
- Using your favorite pie crust recipe, make enough pie dough for a double crust pie. Place the dough in a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough to the bottom and sides. Cut excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fill the pie shell with the cooled filling. With a pastry brush, dip in cold water and moisten the outside edge of the pastry shell. Place top crust over the filling, cutting off the overhang even with the overhang on the bottom crust. Crimp the top and bottom crusts together, trim. Cut 2 or 3 one-inch parallel slits in the top of the pie. Place pie in a preheated 450 degree oven and bake for 10 minutes, then lower heat to 375 degrees and cook for 35 minutes longer or until crust is a golden brown. Serve hot as a main course.
- Individual pies:
- Using the same procedure, individual pie pans or a muffin pan with large cups can be used instead of a large pie pan. Roll the dough, fit into the cups, place the filling in the cups. Moisten the edges with cold water. Place a circle of dough on top. Crimp edges together. Cut a 1-inch slit in the center. Bake as above.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using your hands work in the lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Work the dough until you have a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in half and roll each ball into a circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing the dough, and unfold into a 9-inch pie pan. Reserve the other circles for the top of the pie.
- In a large saute pan, heat the butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions, peppers, celery, shallots, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Saute for 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden and wilted. Add the tomatoes and cook for 6 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and parsley. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 4 minutes. Dissolve the flour in the water and add to the pan. Stir for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Pour the cooled filling into the piecrust. Top the filling with the remaining crust and crimp the edges. Place the pie in the center of a cookie sheet and brush with an egg wash. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edges of the piecrust are golden. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Place a slice of the pie in the center of a plate. Garnish with chives, red peppers, and cheese.
CRAWFISH PIE
Steps:
- Place the pie crust into a deep-dish pie plate.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, green pepper, celery, salt, cayenne pepper, and white pepper until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 3 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk flour and water together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth, and pour the flour mixture into the skillet. Bring the filling to a simmer, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand for 20 to 30 minutes to finish thickening.
- While filling is cooling, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, and bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

MINI CRAWFISH (OR SHRIMP) PIES
I am "required" to make and bring these to parties and family gatherings. When I can't sleep I get in the kitchen and cook, actually experiment, which is how I came up with these. They aren't hard to make, but the bread cups can be a little time consuming so whenever you're in the mood, make the bread cups ahead of time and...

Steps:
- 1. First you make a roux. NO! NO! NO!, not this time. Just Kidding! Sorry, I got carried away...
- 2. FIRST - In a large skillet melt butter and add onion, celery, and chives/green onions, and season with a little salt and pepper. Saute until onions begin to soften.
- 3. Add garlic, worcestershire sauce, cayenne (start with a pinch, you can always add more later), and paprika; continue to simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- 4. Add soup and Cheez-Whiz, simmer until cheese is melted, stirring frequently to keep cheese from burning.
- 5. Add crawfish and simmer 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cap, or to taste, liquid crab boil, (optional).
- 6. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add bread crumbs. Mix well and let sit to allow bread crumbs to expand. The mixture needs to be fairly thick so it won't fall down your shirt when you take the first bite of the mini crawfish pie.
- 7. Check the mixture and add more bread crumbs if needed, stir and set aside.
- 8. If you planned ahead and already have your bread cups made, then pop them back into the mini muffin pan and set aside, pour yourself a drink and put your feet up. Otherwise, get started making those bread cups. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/bread-sweet-bread/sourdough-mini-appetizer-cups.html
- 9. Once all of your ingredients are ready, use a small spoon and fill each bread cup, pack it in and heap it up on top. Sprinkle the top with a little paprika or chopped parsley. Bake at 350* F for 10 minutes and serve.
- 10. *NOTE: Before baking, crawfish pies can be frozen then put into a Zip-Lock bag and kept frozen until ready to serve. From frozen bake at 350* F for 25 minutes until hot.
- 11. *TIP: Alternate method for dough cups - Instead of making bread cups, you can use Pillsbury's pre-made pie crusts (2 crusts) in freezer section of the grocery, or you can make your own fabulous homemade pie crust. Use a cookie cutter to cut rounds that will form a cup when put into a mini muffin pan. Bake for 10 minutes then fill with crawfish mixture. Bake for another 10 minutes to heat through. *OPTIONS: If you don't want to make mini crawfish pies - use this filling to make one full size pie with a top and bottom crust. If you can't get crawfish, use shrimp or crab meat in place of crawfish. Add crab meat last so it stays together better.
LITTLE CRAWFISH PIES
This recipe is basically by Emeril Lagasse. I like it because I can fix it in the oven although he deep fried them. But he gave instructions for oven. Also, there is a recipe for preparing the pastry from scratch or using premade puff pastry. I opted for the puff pastry in the oven. Very tasty and pretty to look at.
