A while back I purchased the Budget Mix Sampler so I could get the skillet and the recipes in the magazine. I have tried some of them and made up others.
My question is--when I make the crust as indicated, the finished product seems to have way too much crust in proportion to the filling. I end up scraping a lot of the crust away and just eating the filling.
What am I doing wrong? Is it supposed to be this way? Do I need to use less mix? Any suggestions?
PS--please don't think that I am criticizing the product. I like the product and the endless variations of use.

Check the "Just for Two" fruit cobbler recipe on page 113 of the Farm Kitchen issue! :)

Another question about the Budget Mix. I used it last night to make a pie crust and have about 1/4 cup left. What can I make with 1/4 cup?

Loyce- I think it depends on the size of your pan as well. What diameter is your pan? And of course you could always cut the recipe in half and roll it out a bit thinner. I like it both ways but it really depends on what I am wanting. Sometimes I want a "built in biscuit" and we make it a bit thicker. Somtimes I want more of a pot pie crust thickness and roll it out much thinner.

i just made the ham and potato one, and I think it had a great ratio of filling to crust. I suppose it is just to your liking though. i think it was 1 1/2 cups mix, 1/2 cup water, and 3 tablespoons of butter. I suppose you could always half it if that is still too much for you.
