I would like to be smart enough to show you the pictures and instructions
but perhaps someone here can do it. Better Homes and Gardens Nov 2013 - on
the cover is an interesting single crust pie. Here's what they did: rolled
out a single crust pastry to about 12 inches round. Laid it over an
upside-down 8" cake pan. Put a springform cake pan over that and inverted
both pans at the same time. Removed the 8" cake pan. After some cleaning
up, the result is a deep single crust pie base.
It is good looking. May even result in a 'no boil over' pie. Wouldn't
have a double-thickness pie pastry rim that nobody ever got all that
enthused about anyway.
I'm thinking my only springform pan has a dome in the middle for angel
food cake but the technique is interesting. Polly
