Cheese Danish Pie Crust Squares

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:59:18 -0500

My mom used to make cinnamon rolls with pie crust scraps, which gave me the idea for making these danishes. It is a great way to use leftover dough and enjoy the taste of a cheese danish without having to make a whole batch. These danishes are a wonderful treat to have with your coffee in the morning! I make them with my gluten free pie crust recipe (Recipe #266631), so I do not know how they would taste on a regular wheat flour crust, but I'm sure they would still be tasty! I like to make half the batch with chocolate chips and the other half with raspberry jam (put this on top of the cream cheese mixture before baking). I had trouble naming this one, so I would love to hear ideas for a tasty and descriptive name! -- posted by Emily Elizabeth

Use this recipe with or without the sugar, depending on whether it's for a dessert or not.

Low Sugar Coconut-Almond Pie Crust or Cheesecake Crust

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:21:49 -0400

I put this together so my husband could make his favorite key lime pie but still be a "little" healthy. We enjoy collaborating on recipes! He is quite the cook in his own right. Almond meal is finely ground. You can make your own by pulsing in a food processor but be careful not to make almond butter out of it, which can happen if it is processed for too long. Same with the coconut, although I buy mine ready made. Just make sure it is unsweetened coconut or the recipe will be off. Pulse it in the food processor until it is like tiny crumbs. For unsweetened coconut you can also try making that from a fresh coconut if you can't find unsweetened coconut at the market. Enjoy! -- posted by Sue L

Basic Pie Crust

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:03:15 -0400

Pie fillings are so wonderful in and of themselves that the best thing to put them in is something flaky and simple. A pie crust should compliment the filling, not conflict with or overpower it.The keys to the perfect flaky pie crust are a gentle touch and really cold water. When you're making bread, you want to knead it good and hard to produce the gluten that makes bread thick and chewy, but gluten is the enemy of pastries. So, the less you handle the flour, the less gluten will be produced and the flakier your pie crust will be. This recipe makes two pie crusts for a 10" dish (either a top and a bottom for one pie or bottoms for two pies). If you only want one bottom, just halve the recipe. -- posted by Mitsein

This easy recipe makes three single crusts. The dough can be frozen. It can be made in the mixer or the food processor (I make it in the food processor). I found it in one of my cookbooks - CookWise by Shirley O. Corriher. and decided to give it a try since I needed three crusts for Thanksgiving pies. I was very impressed with how easy the dough was to work with, and how the crusts baked up. They were fairly flaky and buttery tasting, and held up well with both pumpkin and pecan pie fillings (without getting soggy). This is my go-to pie crust recipe from now on. -- posted by PanNan

Mary's Old Virginny Pie Pastry

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:34:04 -0400

From the March 1981 edition of Bon Appetit. Makes an incredibly rich and short pastry due to the high ratio of shortening to flour. 1/4 to 1/3 of this makes the crust for Apple Pan Dowdy that I will post later. I didn't include baking times or instructions because that will depend on the recipe you use this pastry for. And I do know how unhealthy this pastry is. It has equal amounts of flour and fat. It is not good for you. If you are looking for a healthy pastry (is there such a thing?), keep going, do not stop here. But in small quantities, this is delightful pastry. -- posted by Marysdottir

Mom's Oil Crust

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:45:26 -0400

My Mom made this growing up with both sweet and savory pies. I still make this crust today because I don't have to roll anything out or try to make the butter pea-sized. She uses whole-wheat flour or sometimes half white and half wheat while I generally will use whole-wheat flour when making crust for pot pie and white flour when making pie crust. I have tried doubling this recipe when making a 2-crust pie, but I find it works better to make the first crust right in the pie plate and the second pie crust in a bowl. The second pie crust does get rolled out, but this dough is not as picky as crusts made with butter or shortening. Try it when you're in a pinch for a pie crust. You'll be surprised with the ease and simplicity of the recipe. Serving size is approximate. -- posted by AmyZoe

Looked and looked on Zaar for just the shortbread crust and found many delicious crusts, but just not the one I was looking for. Perhaps I didn't key in the right search, but I found this recipe on the web and it's just what I was looking for...simple. -- posted by SweetSueAl

I always used to use store bought pie crusts but this one is so easy to make and is pretty fool proof. Thanks to my mother-in-law I am now able to make a great flaky crust! -- posted by LarkinSauce

3 - Step Pastry

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:10:42 -0400

Found this recipe in a Kraft's What's Cooking Magazine that comes to my mail box four times a year. Haven't had much luck with pastry and thought maybe, just maybe, this might be as easy as it claims to be. And the result was it is! Also able to substitute the cream cheese with a flavoured one if making a savory tart. ie. Herb and Garlic, Light Sundried Tomato or Light Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by bjd

I came across this recipe when I was in High school homech class 32 years ago. I have used this faithfully since I usually make more than one pie at a time. I also get alot of great comments on this crust. Whatever I don't use I place in the pie plate and freeze for a handy pie making day. -- posted by Mama T's Kitchen

I Desperately Wanted a Ferrero Rocher, But the nuts hurt my teeth. So I was thinking, what is the closest I can get to a Ferrero Rocher Without hurting my teeth from chewing the nuts?? You can Mix the Nutella with almost anything. Things we've tried so far were creamy Peanut Butter, Cashew Butter, and Crunchy Peanut Butter. Make sure you have a cupcake or muffin pan, Pizza cutter or sharp knife and Melt the butter! -- posted by Bonitadreama
