Electric pie makers and recipe ideas ;)

I meant to do it over the weekend but forgot so thought I had better get in before she buys me something else.  She normally asks me but just when I have something to actually tell her I want, it would have been my luck she had already got me something else.

Ok ds has talked me into custard tarts. What pastry recipe does everyone use for sweet  pastry.

Thanks

[Halex]

Found a sweet pastry on the internet.

Have 4 mushroom quiches in the pie maker now. Made pastry from edc

H

[Halex]

The quiches are smaller than i thought. Might put more filling in the next batch.

The bottoms are great, really crsip and yum.

I got 9 pastry bases from the edc book, so will make 4 more quiches now.

What about others

Tnen on to cstard tarts for DS
 

[Halex]

Sorry 10 bases, but it would stretct to 12 as my pastry is probably a bit thick.

Trial @ error

You talking to your self here Hally lol. I thought you were making custard Tarts? or are you making quiches as well?

This is one appliance I swear by.  I have a 4 hold Sunbeam that I bought when I lived in Australia.  The greatest invention ever!  A great way to use up all those jolly left overs we all have.  And pies seem to take up less space in the freezer!!!

Good to hear they ake up less space, but still stuck with left oversas you cant refreeze the food!!

Next time into the pies and then freeze.

It seems weall have freezer issues.LOL

No freezer issues here!! Went from owning two of the largest you could buy down to just one medium upright!!!

Leftovers are taken to work for lunches or frozen as lunch meals etc ... when there are too many in the freezer (i.e. enough for a meal and also a lunch or two) they get worked into my menu plan as a HYS (help your self lol) meal.

If it is something that would make a really nice pie filling then pies are made and frozen for lunches or again HYS

We are the same Kathryn.  Our freezer just has a couple of loaves of bread, a quiche, some fruit buns, ice cream and our frozen meat.  All left-overs are gobbled up for lunch the next day or reworked into dinner the next night.  Chow mein is turned into spring rolls, spag bol is yummy as a pizza topping, beef stew is made into pies etc. I don't like serving the exact same meal two nights in a row and like to be creative when using up left-overs. It saves us a fortune as well.

I thought owning a TMX would reduce my gadgets but I seem to be adding to them continually. I had a pie maker long ago (Sunbeam) but it sort of disappeared. I think I may have lent it to Mum and when we cleaned her place out a family member may have taken it. I may well have to buy another one. Especially if DD sees that it can  make crumpets. She is into making them and was pleased to see the TMX home to make her job easier.

Yes cookie, i thiught buying tm woukd be it. Its not its worse, now lots of cae decorating gear, 2 le Creusets, pie maker.... Will it ever end
