    ~ Tightwad Tuesday~ Waste Not Want Not / Using Left Over Pie Crust ~

     

    Waste Not Want Not / Using Left Over Pie Crust

    .

    "There are only a few big ways to save money but there are many small ways ....that all adds up."

    .

    Growing up my mom was my mentor on being money wise.  She was very good at not wasting anything and making the most of things.  That is were I was instilled deeply of "waste not want not".    One of my very fond memories as a little girl was what my mom would make with left over pie crust dough.  She always made mini cinnamon rolls with the left over pie dough.   It was a tasty and fun treat we got to enjoy to help us wait for pie time.  

    .

     My boys now say"  OH I just love these Mom !"  just like I used to say when I was younger.  It just warms a mama's heart.

    .

    How to Make Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls

     All you do is roll out the left over pie crust , butter it , sprinkle a thin layer of cinnamon sugar , roll dough as you would cinnamon rolls and cut between 1/2 of a inch to 3/4 ths of a inch. Bake it at 400 * till golden brown, cool and enjoy !

     

    .

    Now, leave me a note to let me know you were here and  please go visit all these wonderful gals and read their TWT Tips .



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    My mom does the same thing. Those cinnamon rolls are so yummy, especially if you re-heat them in the microwave for a few seconds.

    I'm not a pie maker because no one in the house really eats it, but I might have to start baking them just so I can try this! We LOVE cinnamon rolls!

    My dd would rather eat those than pie. My grandma did this so I always have. I guess I thought everyone did.

    Hi Mary! (This is Leslie.)

    I do this with leftover bread dough. Never thought of it with pie crust. What a super idea! Thanks for sharing.

    I will have to try this next time I make a pie. I usually just cut the leftover in strips and sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. I bet the butter makes them way better!

Go to my links on The House That God Built and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
