After making the crusts I made a pot of chicken a la king and baking powder biscuits for supper. We haven't had this in several months and it was very good. There is enough leftover to freeze for another meal which will come in handy when I have surgery.
Roll the pie crust on the rolling pin and then transfer it to the pan. |
The edger/cutter. |
I turn a pan upside down and use it to cut the top crust. I just cut it about 1/2" larger all away around. |
4 single crusts, 14 double crusts and 4 small double crusts. The top crust is wrapped in plastic wrap then laid on top of the bottom crust. |
Very smart. I like your idea of making a batch of pie crusts and freezing them. I make individual Finnish meat pies-- called pasties. I might use your idea and make a large batch of pastry to have ready in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather make a huge mess once instead of several times. I used one tonight for our supper of ham quiche.
DeleteI've heard of pasties but never have tried them. I looked at the recipe on your site and it looks mighty good. I am going to put them on my list of things to try.
