Tiny pies. For a while I had been thinking about small food — as in “Look at me, I am a GIANT!” Small food. My plans included little poussin, Brussels sprouts, little dinner rolls, and itty bitty pies. I have a small muffin pan with shallow, curved shapes (maybe for dinner rolls?) That I thought would be good for the shape (the standard 5″ small pie tin was considered but voted too large).
I also tried some mini pies in regular muffin tins. I used the standard refrigerated Pillsbury pie crusts, and cut out round shapes using a biscuit cutter and some cups from around the kitchen. I even tried a few miniature lattice tops using the technique described at the bottom of this page and sort of illustrated and described here. The pies were baked in a 375 degree oven for ten minutes and then checked.
I suspect some sparkly sanding sugar thrown on top, or perhaps this water and sugar techinique would be great for these. I am, of course, not the first person to make tiny pies. More tiny pies!
