Mini Pie Pans

One of my favorite new gadgets this summer are my mini pie plates. I wanted to have something that I could use for chicken pot pies, or individual pies for desserts.

Most of the small pie pans on the market are expensive and larger than what I wanted. I ended up purchasing  a set of 10 made by Libbey. Amazon has them for $15.00, which is a pretty good price after looking around.

They are 4.9 inches in size, I know that sounds small but they are the perfect size for one serving. They are glass so will go from the freezer to the microwave which is handy if your item is frozen. I only bake with mine but you could find many uses for these small pie plates when entertaining.

Individual Pot Pies
Crust
A double 10 inch recipe will give you enough for the bottom and top crusts for 6 individual pies. If you have my cookbook just double the 10 inch crust recipe. You will need 100g of crust for each double crusted mini pie plate. The bottom crust is 60g of dough and needs to be rolled out to a diameter of 6 inches. The top will need to be rolled out to 5 inches and 40g of pie dough.

Filling
Each pie holds 1/2 a cup of filling. This will give you an idea of how much filling you will need to make.

PANS
Whole grain needs extra support so the correct pan size will make all the difference in the world in the height of your loaf. Metal pans work great but you could use anything. I have found a pullman loaf pans are very nice they have 4 inch sides and are 4 x 9 approximately. You can buy them with or with out the lids. The high sides allow the dough to climb up the sides, and make a perfect size for putting in the toaster.

I always say good tools makes life easier in the kitchen. Just ask your husband when he needs a special tool for a project. Muffin top pans are a specialty type pan that have a very shallow indentation perfect for baked items you want to stay perfectly round when baking. I bought mine for hamburger buns,  but I can already see so many other uses.

The price is around $15.00 to 20.00 and has free shipping from Amazon.
CHICAGO METALLIC is a really nice brand, heavy duty and non stick, so they are a breeze to clean. I will be trying mine out with my Strawberry Shortcake recipe. I usually use a muffin tin, then cut the muffin in half on the plate and top with the strawberries and whipping cream. This would allow of a much better presentation. One simple perfectly round cake that I can top with the berries. Try the Strawberry Shortcake recipe on my recipe blog.  The cakes are very light even with 100% whole grain. The recipe is easy but quite different. The milk is heated before adding it to the batter.
