Notes:

put on saran wrap to roll out

flip with wrap into pie pan

brush excess flour off

poke holes with fork before bake

check at 5-6 min to make sure there are no bubbles

no need to spray the pie pan

can make up to 3 days in advance and just keep on counter covered in saran wrap

to make for chicken pot pit and  another egg for more strusture

don't worry about over mixing, just make sure it mixes (she used the paddle on her kitchenaid)

If you double it makes 5 pie crusts

Pie Custard:

1 quart of heavy whipping cream

1/3 bag of powdered sugar (32 oz bag) 

*this will do 3 pies

*2 to 2 1/2 bananas per pie, make sure no bananas are showing (they will brown)

2 days max or it will get yucky

for lemon she used the cook & serve

for coconut she sprinkle coconut in the pudding, then pipe with cream, then add toasted coconut to the top

(to toast cocnut she cooks at 400 degrees for 5-8 mins for top )

 

 

for crisp lines put in fridge for a few mint to firm up then pipe right after mixing then get in the fridge

for chocolate put a layer in the pir crust then put in fridge to set

for texture add chopped oreos or chopped choc chips

Her opinion on:

Heavy whipping cream- walmart is the best, winco is the worst, smiths is the thickest

Coop whip -  she used is great value, said any brand is fine

She said don't buy flour from walmart, get it at costco (lehi roller mills is what she likes)
