Pie crust...

Mom2Dogs — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 01:40:03 GMT

I always make my own pie crust but if I wanted to buy pre made, which brand is the best?

I always use ORONOQUE ORCHARDS DEEP DISH PIE CRUSTS. This is the pie crust used in Mrs. Smith's pies.

I like the Pillsbury Pie Crusts.

I've used the Pillsbury for years. Light and flaky.

another vote for pillsbury! my sis used to bake a pecan pie every year for Easter.

Her MIL used to always rave about the flakiness of it.

sis never revealed it was a pre-made crust.

Pillsbury is the best,and to make it look and taste more like homemade, store the box in your freezer until you need it.

Thaw it out before use. For some strange reason, that makes the crust really, really flakey.

i purchased 10 boxes at a discount grocery store for .50 a box. They were already frozen when I got them. I discovered that freezing them really works to make them better. My DH is really picked and he only likes homemade. He knows when I use Pillsbury...but not when they are frozen first.

I like to make my own, but in a pinch I use Pillsbury, I don't really like the taste it seems to have an after taste that I don't like but it's the best of the ones I've tried. Thank's for the tip @Carmie I will try freezing it and see if that helps. @BklynKinsey, I'm in th North East and I've never seen Oronoque Orchards deep dish pe crusts in any of the stores around here I don't think they carry it.

@BklynKinsey. I have never heard of that brand! There are only two grocery stores in my area.

I vote also for Pillsbury buttery flavor, light, flaky without all the work! 👍

Pillsbury is the one I rely on. I love to bake but totally stink at making a decent pie crust. My Mom could make the best pie crusts and my Dad loved her pies, and would always say, " I don't know how your Mom can make such a delicious pie when she doesn't practice enough in my opinion !!!"

I have used the Pillsbury refrigerated in a pinch. Not as good as my recipe, but serviceable.

They are the best but I don't think they are national, only local.

2nd best is Pillbury, the one already in the pan or the roll out kind.

Pillsbury! I've used it for many years - over 20. Just let it come to room temp before unrolling.

@Mom2Dogs @software @CelticCrafter

The Mrs. Smith website says that Oronoque Orchards Deep Dish Pie Crusts are only available on the East Coast.

@BklynKinsey, thanks for the info- no wonder I have never heard of them...I'm a midwest girl.

@Silver Fox1 Yes, they are in the freezer section. They come already in aluminum pie pans, two to a package.
