I don't exactly delight in it, but I will usually bite the bullet and
do it. I make hot-water pastry, which is easy to handle, then pre-roll
and freeze flat. Then at the event I thaw the pastry and put into pie
tins. Total time on the day = about 5 min per crust.
(and I can't buy pastry at anything like 2 shells for $1-- it's more
like 80c per sheet of pastry, and more if I want foil tins. That's a
lot of money out of a sub-$10 budget)
