Pie Crusts

[Rainbow]

I always made it from scratch.. never had pre made crust before and i dont think it sell on the market here..

so, my recipe:
150 grams flour
margarine 60 grams
butter 30 grams
1 tbsp full cream powder
1 small egg yolk
15 grams powder sugar
mix all ingredients.. this recipe approx for 6 mini tart crust.. the reason why i didnt use all butter but mix it with margarine because i need more firm crust and not too crunchy.. sometimes i didnt use butter at all..
but i'm still amateur here and need to learn more.. but so far that recipe work for me

egg tart, fruit tart, and avocado mousse tart

Oh, sorry..
i try to convert my recipe for you:

1C+1Tbsp flour : you can use all purpose flour OR mix half and half of all purpose flour and pastry flour/low protein flour
Margarine 2 oz or 1/2 stick (assuming there is 4 oz in a stick)
Butter 1 oz or 1/4 stick
1 up to 1.5 Tbsp full cream milk powder
1 small egg yolk
2 Tbsp powder sugar (reduce if its too sweet.. but its perfect for me since i have sweet tooth.. lol)

mix all ingredients.. no need to add any water.. just keep knead until it firm.. and i didnt put it on fridge because i'm impatient.. but dont over knead and work as fast as you can do so the butter not melt in your hand.. lol.. hth

you're welcome
full cream milk powder is just dry milk (with fat).. i think it enrich the flavor because of that fat but idk.. i never tried using non fat dry milk

avocado mousse tart

That sounds intriguing! They certainly look lovely, what does it taste like?

Thank you! It taste like avocado smoothies (almost like that) with crust.. lol..
it just avovado puree mix with whipping cream and milk and sugar and then add some gelatine.. and grated some chocolate on the top..
It is good but not my favorite..

could I substitute the cream milk powder whip heavy cream instead?

I never tried it before..
you can omit the full cream powder btw..
actually, my first recipe without full cream powder.. and it turn out ok too.. but then i try to add a little bit of milk powder (since i love milky)

 

[justme4910]

thanks Rainbow,so use the non fat stuff since that is what is on hand ?

Yes, it will work too (but still full cream is better!! milky!!) lol.. but non fat/skim milk powder can be use too
Goodluck and tell me what you think of this recipe ^^

egg tart and fruits tart (with fla inside) is my favorite
i'm wondering about brownies pie.. have you tried it?? it looks so pretty on google.. hehehe

 

[justme4910]

it is going to be a pumpkin pie I just set out the filling to thaw ,the other half of the disaster pie lol

 

[justme4910]

will that cover a deep dish pie pan ?

 

[justme4910]

i'm using this recipe,I'm short of eggs and it is snowing heavily


http://www.landolakes.com/recipe/2092/butter-pie-crust

i've treated this the same as biscuit dough and broke up the butter by hand,after a few smashes with the pastry cutter,I think I should have chilled the butter more,but we shall see


hmmm I should have turned the stove on too lol the dough will keep in the fridge though

 

[justme4910]

I baked it for 4 minutes before i added the filling,I was having a hard time with the size of the crust,so I added 1/4 of the remaining dough,so we shall see what happens,here are some pictures,the first one is after the 4 minutes

 

[justme4910]

and I do need a video showing me how to successfully flip a pie crust off the cutting board into a pie pan ,,my silcone roller was sticking and it seems I'm having a problem judging how much crust to use in my 1 pie pan and yes it is deep dish


hmmm this probably should be in the pumpkin pie thread well dang,I've had the temperature set wrong,I need it at 350 so that means the knob needs to be at 375 and it was set to 350 lol

so i'm baking it a few more minutes

 

[justme4910]

here it is,it is still bubbling so it will be a long while till a taste test happens,the crust edges do look a lot better

it does have a small black spot on it

 

[justme4910]

why didn't the crust stay up higher ? it has shrunk from where I put it in the pan,but i didn't get any to stay up high
