Can you use this mix to make pie crusts?

Yes you can. I googled a recipe for the pie crust and located one. It was actually pretty good.

Never tried it but sounds good. Its a little flaky for my taste when I made the pancakes but cheddar biscuits were very good.

you can use it like flour and make biscuits. I don't know if their recipes in their bag or booklet have any good biscuit recipes but it works very similar to any other bake mix just with changes in the way you cook

I only use it to make English mince pies. I don't think it would make a good ice cream topping. Too sweet!

it works GREAT for making pie crust, pizza dough,biscuts,pasta dough, but i would not suggest using it for bread dough. i would use a kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook, or a bread maker.

Well, my quiches have crust, but I have never tried anything like that. I believe after using this it works best for pies that have crust bottoms and tops. Great for hand held pot pies and fruit filled pies. There is a food truck in our town that sells little pies that look just like these sold as hand held pies!

You can but I read somewhere you will have a tougher crust. Best to use lard.

I would preheat the stones and assemble on parchment paper. Once the stone is to the desired temp you can slide the pie onto the stone.

sure it can ! just put in your ingredients and let it do the mixing for you. Sometimes I make the dough in the machine and bake it in the oven instead of the machine. It's nice to use it that way too, kind of keeps the mess in one place.

I have used them for pie crust and fondant. Fondant works on the same principle. You should have no problem.

i don't use the mixes. i have a cook book for the dogs so I make my own. I find it less expensive to do it myself. Good luck I love the machine it keeps me from sweating to death trying to bake cookies in this heat.

You could but I would not recommend it, this is more for pastry and dough then it is for cutting.

I haven't tried but I'm absolutely sure cake mixes would work. This pan is just like a cupcake pan which people use cake mixes in all the time. The only difference is this pan would create a donut shape.

I would recommend using one of the recipes from the included cook book or use the one from Betty Crocker cook book. But you could use either mix in a pinch though neither will come out as well as using a recipe.

Sure, just be sure to flour the mat beforehand as well as the cookie cutters and then proceed. This mat is very durable and great for pie crusts, biscuits, cookies and more.

According to the manual (which can be looked up online) you can make a small batch of pizza dough. Going from memory, I think it uses 1-1/2 cups of flour for the recipe, enough for a 14-16" pizza. It says you can also make pie dough for a one-crust pie, which would be about 1 cup of flour, but pie dough also has shortening in it, increasing the volume somewhat. There are also recipes for a batch of six cupcakes or muffins, to give you an idea of the size of the recipes the unit can accommodate.

I have never used the two together, but I would assume that you could. To my understanding, a "pizza crisper" is used in an oven to make the pizza crust crisper that if it's just put on a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Buy using a stone, it naturally makes the pizza crust crusty. Combining the pizza stone and the pizza crisper might make it really crusty. Who knows?

Sorry, but this time I have to say an outright "no". It's too rough (like burlap) and although it might work, I wouldn't try. I bake pies as well and I much prefer using a smooth surfaced material for the tender pie crusts rather than this rough surface. Sometimes you can multitask a product but not this one for pie crusts. Cookie dough? Pretty much the same thing. This couche is fairly rigid as well as rough so again I wouldn't think of using it for anything else than forming bread loaves. Good luck!
