TART SHELLS FREE
(They're also free of fish and shellfish, which might go without saying, but if you're highly sensitive to these ingredients it's understandably reassuring that it's pointed out.) The pie shells are also free of dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, corn, and casein. And because they're made with rice flour in a strictly gluten-free facility, they're also free from a whole host of other allergens. Sold in the freezer section with the traditional pie crusts, these 9-inch pie crusts come two to a pack. If you're ready to just get baking and don't want to go through the extra effort of assembling your pie dough from a mix, Wholly Wholesome is here to make your life so much easier. These days, finding gluten-free alternatives for home-baking items has gotten substantially easier - and pie crusts are no exception. Number of Crusts: Two | Calories per serving: 110 per 25 grams of crust | Allergens: gluten, lard/non-vegetarian Since you still have to fit and crimp the dough yourself, most people will assume you also made the dough, and be duly impressed. Look for them on the diary aisle near the butter, not in the freezer section.

The Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts are incredibly convenient, due to how easy they are to find at most grocery stores. We also found that the dough rarely stuck to the pie plates, regardless of which type of pie plate we were using. While these crusts are made for regular-sized 9-inch pie plates, our tester found that once tempered, the crusts could be gently rolled out to fit a deep-dish or 10-inch pie plate.
TART SHELLS CRACK
Simply remove the pie crust from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before you're ready to start building the pie, fit it into the pie pan, crimp the edges as you like, and bake!ĭuring testing, we found that while the package recommends letting the pie crust sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, letting it sit out for about 30 minutes assured us that the dough wouldn't crack while unrolling it - which was plenty of time to make our pie filling in most cases. The pie crusts are individually-wrapped, so if you're only using one crust, the other will stay fresh. The crusts are simple to use, whether you're blind-baking the shell, baking the shell along with a filling, or making a double crust pie. The package includes two round pie crust sheets, intended to fit regular-sized 9-inch pie pans. We used these Pillsbury roll-out pie crusts as a controlled neutral pie dough to test our favorite pie pans and pie crust cutters, and were very pleased with the results. For those who enjoy the process of making pies, but not so much the process of making pie dough, Pillsbury's ready-to-bake pie crusts are a helpful compromise.
