Hey,

I have tried pie crusts in the past but find the ones available in the UK very thick / hard. What is everyone using for their pies?

I use pastry sheets. Just cut in circles and bake as instructed. I bake in silicone cake tins which can be used to throw pies once made

Do these break ok?

Yes

I buy the North American Keebler pie crusts off Amazon. Can be a bit pricey but 100% worth it.

Oooh interesting

And they survive delivery?

I always used the sweet British supermarket crusts (although savoury are cheaper but dangerously hard) but they can hurt the model if not thrown absolutely square on (or the model flinches!). Around 2017 I was able to get Graham Cracker crusts from a nearby Sainsbury's. These were superb. Rigid and light for throwing and smashed nicely on contact. The supply was, sadly, very short lived and they were not a product that tended to survive postal or courier delivery very well.

Everytime, and even if they are slightly broken the tins and packaging holds them together. Try buying one and see how it's delivered.
