Hmmm...thanks, aly. I'll try, but my advenntures with pastry have always have iffy results.

And yes, STP, you can pie frozen pie shells. They come in a cheap, disposable pie tin. You wouldn't approve, though, since you are tremendously green.

If you use a food processor for the dough, it just can't go wrong. Put in the butter first, add the dry ingredients, then the egg. Done.

Well, a tip that I've never heard before! I do have an el cheapo food processor, so next time I shall try this! Thanks, pointy. :D

yes, I'm so green I'm mossy :P

that wasn't what I meant though... I meant just a slab of frozen dough, for you to mould as you wished (as you said they didn't have the right size pastry cases, or am I making that up?)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Well, you can buy frozen dough, but I don't think it would be suitable for a pie crust. The only kind of frozen dough I know of is for bread or pizza, i.e. It rises.

But you can buy frozen pie shells and they come in the aforementioned tin. Which I do recycle. :star:

The problem is that G wants mini mince pies - like small tart size, if that makes sense. :unsure:

well, I just had a look at the one in the freezer (yes, it's still there :blush: ) and it's Pillsbury frozen pie crust; 'just unroll!!'

don't know if that's any help ;)

Hi,

Reading in on your minced pie discussion. I printed the recipe and am going to try it because Nick LOVES mince pies. He bought them from Sainsbury's practically year round. Do you think I could use the tin I bought for Yorkshire puddings. It's like a cupcake/muffin/fairy cake/bun tin, but it's bigger around and shallow. Or do I need the smaller and deeper cupcake tin?

The Pillsbury pie crust dough is in a red box of two crusts. Let it warm up, then unroll it and put it in your own pie plate. I was thinking, you could use the big circles of Pillsbury and cut small ones out of it. Then mush up the scrap pieces and roll them out to cut again.

I think whatever tin you use will be fine, if Nick likes a lot of filling it would probably be better making them with a deeper tin. However if you use the shallower one it might take the same amount of filling, I think it'll just be a bit more spread out.
