pie crust basics Pie Crust Basics p. 74 Why wait for a special occasion when you can easily bake pie shop-quality pie for your family? Pillsbury offers you two great choices of crusts that take most of the work out of pie baking. Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts and Pillsbury® Pet-Ritz® frozen pie crusts allow you to create perfect pies every time you bake. How do you do it? Simple – just follow the directions for the great recipes in this magazine and on the pie crust packages. Here are a few tips to get you started. • Bake refrigerated pie crusts in glass or dull-metal pie pans. Shiny pans prevent browning, and dark pans cause too much browning. (Pet-Ritz® frozen pie crusts in disposable foil pans are formulated to brown perfectly in the pan, when directions are followed.) • Use the size pan called for in a recipe. Refrigerated pie crusts are designed for 8-inch or 9-inch pie pans and 10-inch tart pans. p. 52 • To prevent over-browning of the crust, cover the edges with strips of foil part way through the baking time. • To keep a baked shell perfectly shaped, ease the dough into the pan without stretching it. Stretched dough always wants to go back to its original shape, so it “slumps” down the side of the pan. Press the crust against the bottom and sides of the pan to anchor it to the pan. • Store Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts in the main part of the refrigerator (not the door or vegetable crisper). Store Pet-Ritz® frozen pie crusts in the freezer. • For the best quality, use the refrigerated pie crust before the “use-by” date on the box. For longer storage, freeze it before the “use-by” date, for up to 2 months. • Soften refrigerated pie crusts according to box directions before you use them. Pet-Ritz® frozen pie crusts are usually baked or filled right from the freezer. • If the frozen pie crust thaws, don’t refreeze it. Bake the crust, freeze it, and use it later for a filled, baked crust pie. p. 88 Pillsbury Easy, Fabulous Pies
