I have promised to make 5 pies for our Thanksgiving feast this year. I made all of the pastry today and most of it is now in the refrigerator. One will be an apple pie and I assembled it today (I did not bake it yet) and ended up with a small amount of leftover pie crust dough. I wanted to bake it, but it seemed silly to heat up the big oven to cook something so very small. So, I tried something new. I rolled it out, sprinkled it with a little sugar and cinnamon and cooked it in a small cast iron skillet on medium heat until the bottom started to brown, and then flipped it over for just a little while. It work out very well.
Something so small, but at least not going to waste!
I love your tiny tips!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad! :)
DeleteI have never tried the skillet but I usually make the batch of piecrust cookies while the pie is baking. Just remember to take out! I bake a lot of pies, also, so always have crust. I like to roll out into a random shape and then see what I can turn into...tree for Christmas, turkey for Thanksgiving, dog head, bird, bunny, etc. The "drawing" lines are where it is scored so breaks apart into pieces for sharing.
