Mini Egg Pies (Custard Pies)

I could have made one big pie and be done in 2 minutes but Nooo! I like making it difficult for myself…15 minutes individually lining muffin pans with pie crust. Yes, yes, I do have a life. But it’s a life that enjoys being in the kitchen. Besides, I think this cute mini eggpie one-servings will present better on a dessert table than messy, have-to-slice pies.

UPDATE: 12/18/2007
I actually wrote this post in the 2nd week of November before I had a change of web host and before the re-”theming” of my site. A few days ago, I discovered this blog event called THE MINI PIE REVOLUTION hosted by Karyn and Anne. Wow! Two people who see the possibilities of pies like I do!

Makes 24 Mini Egg Pies

Ingredients

Pie Crust
1 cup (8 oz) butter, slightly softened
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1 tsp salt
2 tsp granulated sugar

Filling
1 can (10 oz) condensed milk
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
4 egg yolks

Procedure

Cut butter into pieces. Add in flour, sugar and salt. Mix until mixture turns into little dough “pebbles”. Add in water. Consistency will be somewhat “crumbly”.

Form into 24 balls. Flatten balls into rounds of crust sheets.

Grease two 12-muffin tin pans with non-stick spray. Line muffin holes with pie crust rounds. Trim edges.

Mix filling ingredients together. Pour or spoon into prepared muffin-sized crusts until 3/4 full.

Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes, or until middle is set and toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Can I used the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts? Will it taste the same?

Carmina,

Although I haven’t personally tried it, I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t. Happy experimenting! Please come back and share your experience with the recipe!

Don’t have an oven at home (used to have one when I lived with my parents). Can I use the turbo broiler or oven toaster instead?

Thanks!

Jhoanne,

I apologize for the oversight. Evap is 12 oz can and 10 oz for condensed milk. Corrected the ingredients. Thanks.

Tess,

I am sorry but I’ve never tried this other than in the oven.
