pie/tart shell
I recently bought an electric pastry shell maker. It does bowls, spoons, boats, diamonds etc and I'm looking for recipes for both savory and sweet shells, or even multi use ones. They're for hors doeurves and mini desserts. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you looking for pie crust recipes? Sorry if I'm confused! Anyway, I'm reading the cookbook "Ratio" right now and the ratio is 3 parts flour, 2 parts fat, 1 part water. You could adjust this in multiple ways - I'm sure adding some herbs would be great for savory and sugar for sweet. Using some almond meal could be interesting as well. Good luck!

Here's a link to the equipment
http://www.kasbahouse.com/detail.asp?...basically you put a bit of the dough in each slot and close down the press, it then shapes and bakes the shell.
I know some of the different crusts, I just didn't know if they would work for the machine, if the outcome would in any way be altered.
O - How's the Ratio cookbook going for you, I've been contemplating ordering it! Let me know what you think about it!

re: saresw
I'll admit that I'm not to far into it! I like the idea of it and am enjoying it so far. The idea of learning ratios is appealing to me but it relies on weighing your ingredients which is something I've never really done. I'd have to get a scale to really utilize much of it. I'd probably also have to start baking! (It's not all baking though.)
Keep us updating on your crazy machine - looks very interesting!
