🏆 Graham Cracker Pie Crust Recipe How To 🏆

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Thanks for watching Everyone! *What's your favourite pie and crust combo?* As always the recipe is in the description box.

[@rajaadawood5171]

I love all your delicious recipe chef Glen 🥰 my daughter & sons loves the key lime pie, my husband like the pecan & pumpkin pie 🤗 for the crust I usually make the same recipe you did and I add cinnamon for the New York cheese cake crust for both cold and hot recipe ❤️

[@jonsolsvig4566]

I find that using brown instead of white sugar makes the best gram cracker pie crust

[@Tensen01]

Key Lime pie is my absolute favorite pie, hands down. Second is the Cherry-o Cream Cheese Pie

[@Meg_Lovegood]

Oreo or peanut butter sandwich (the Girl Scouts cookie)

[@lawson296]

Lemon Ice box pie. It has a similar taste to Key lime pie but with lemons instead. I love it.

[@DuelScreen]

Almond shortbread cookies also make a great crust.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

KUDOS for reminding us of Graham Cracker crusts. They make some of my FAVORITE crusts for jelled fillings. EVEN MORE KUDOS for reminding us of ARROWROOT biscuits: I remember them as 'Animal Crackers' in the circus wagon box. I might add a few high quality ginger snaps to the mix.

[@sbender3787]

A wonderful graham crust is with a small amount of butter and egg white. You can make it thin and it gets crispy in the oven. It holds together too.

[@stevepacenka2748]

Been doing it similarly for cheesecake since 1960's. Evolved to use brown sugar instead of white, a little cinnamon and nutmeg, a portion of finely chopped walnuts. Will try Glen's prebaking for the next round! Sour cream cheesecake filling goes very well with a graham/nut crust. Crumbs need a little higher proportion of butter to be able to cling to vertical sides of a cheesecake pan. I grease the pan with a stick of butter to start.

[@a.kasper8596]

My brain: You mean saltines? Glen: You in America call them saltines. Me: of course he researched that...

[@brockreynolds870]

This recipe is EXACTLY correct. I've seen some that leave out the sugar, others that use more butter, they don't work as well, IMO. I've also heard that gingersnaps make a great crust for some pies... especially pumpkin.

[@peterszar]

I really enjoy your videos. I'm a widower now and I am attempting to make some of my favorite dishes and desserts. This video is so timely. The other day I was at supermarket here in Clarence, NY and I bought a cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. I don't know where the crust was, and it was also bland. That made me hankerin' for a good Graham crust. I didn't know it had to be baked. Thanks for the recipe and clarification.

[@keetrandling4530]

When it comes to pie, Homemade or nuthin' baby! Love a good Key Lime Pie

[@shibble]

Personally, I use store bought crusts. Takes less time and doesn't taste that different

[@jamesellsworth9673]

@@shibble Glad it works for you. They never do appeal to me...but I grew up with a grandfather who baked for his restaurant business. And my mother made old-fashioned lard and butter crusts for her pies. I never looked elsewhere. Except that James Beard, a great American cookbook writer introduced his readers to a cream cheese and butter crust for quiche. My wife and I have followed that recipe for a good many fruit and gelled pie fillings.

[@missbrnt]

Thank you for being "metric" throughout 🖤 it was so hard to find the right measurements for my 24cm quich pan.

[@TownGirl04]

Love Graham Cracker crusts and great for lemon meringue. Where I live, we can buy a box of gc already ground up.

[@a.kasper8596]

A tease, of a tease, of a video? You spoil us, Glen! Lol. Every time I get a notification, I watch!

[@vestamcdonald7238]

I am enjoying your pie series. I suggest you try a Biscoff pie crust. No sugar needed, just add butter. Great with cheesecake too.

[@andrewbuckley9180]

Hi Glen, great channel. I am addicted to watching you cook great stuff. Would you be interested in showing how to make "Gypsy Tart" which is a UK recipe from the county of Kent? Would be very interested in seeing how you make that. Cheers A

[@anamewillcomelater]

In the UK we don't have graham crackers. We use "digestive biscuits" instead for pie crust/cheesecake base recipes! Digestive biscuits are also readily available all over East Asia.

[@theablanca17]

yeah, same with Sweden. We use digestive biscuits in the same way

[@jamesellsworth9673]

In the United States, we can buy 'wholemeal' biscuits made in Britain by Carrs of Carlisle and they work better than the 'new recipe' Nabisco Graham Crackers. For me, the cane sugar and butter in the original recipe was 'tops.'

[@brockreynolds870]

I always felt that "digestive biscuits" is one of the most unappetizing names for a product I could possibly think of

[@falconeagle3655]

Thanks missed this kind of video.

[@extremelydamagedwormhole]

Thank you so much! You saved my lemon ice box pie!

[@christinekeleher3578]

Thanks Glen can’t wait till the pies start.

[@momonohunter]

DEFINITELY looking forward to your info & recipe for key lime pie! It's one of my all time favorite treats! (I get one every year for my birthday, in July)

[@CodeFoxAus]

Bring on the pies! Yay!

[@scienceguy8]

Once made a cheesecake using a crust like this. However, it used Oreo cookies (classic, not double stuff), no additional sugar, and butter. Probably a bad idea for the fruit pies to come, but for any chocolate or peanut butter pies, I bet it would be top notch!

[@chefmayi70]

"we're also going to delve into the murky world of the key lime pie." I'll be here, that's my fav!🍋🍋

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Although there is nothing 'murky' about the clean flavor of a good key lime pie!

[@FlorentPlacide]

In France, we (at least me) would use biscuits called "Petit Beurre", which means "little butter". Ironically they're quite dry biscuits and are only enjoyable with a hot beverage.

[@sennest]

What a super video!!! What a super channel!!!😎👍👍

[@andrewd.6538]

Looking forward to the key lime pie!

[@jbirsner]

Nicole Rucker has a version I love. Check out her recipe.

[@bertguitarr]

Digestive biscuit crust is the real deal!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

@@dogsbody49 Apparently, British and Scandinavian viewers who speak English use the term 'digestive biscuits' for wholemeal biscuits. Dr. Graham's process produced the sweet, nutty wholemeal flour.

[@bertguitarr]

@@dogsbody49 Digestives are usually less sweet, but at the same time I never had to add sugar to digestive biscuit crust. Excellent to dunk in milk or tea!

[@borbetomagus]

Thanks for this video. Looking forward to your Key Lime Pie video. I wish you could track down Sweetzels 'Zesty Lemon Snaps' and use those when making your crust for your Key Lime Pie. Those are some of the best lemon cookies I've come across.

[@microtasker]

I just went out and bought a premade graham crust then came home and checked your channel and sure enough.. Oh well, next time. Well.. this time is going to be a cheesecake, but next time will be a Key Lime.

[@JoeRiordan]

Saltine was the Nabisco brand of crackers, but they were too successful in their marketing and so it became a generic term.

[@ToiletDuck88]

Thank you for measuring by grams. couldn't get an idea how much I could make with mine hahaha

[@sheteg1]

Canadian here. I called them saltines too ! 👍

[@EastSider48215]

Thank you!

[@briansegarra9312]

Never thought about making a pie crust with Maria's biscuits I'll or "galletas María" as we call them on Puerto Rico I'll surely will try it out also we call the soda biscuits "galletas export soda"

[@benicio1967]

I found 1 sleeve was barely shy of what I needed. Now I’m not sure whether I should add three more sleeves or five more.

[@angelsworld1733]

I like the thicker shells but I haven't bought those, I only have the thinner ones. Also why add sugar if doing graham crackers, they are already sweet?

[@funwithflags7506]

you should look up( iron bru ) its a Scottish soft drink id like to see u try to make it such a unique taste

[@anamewillcomelater]

It's spelt "Irn Bru". Would also love to see Glen attempt it!

[@StickySli]

You inspire me to cook delicious dishes and deserts every week. Thanks for the great work! I'm hoping to make some pretzels next week but can't find NaOH (Sodium hydroxide aka. Sodium Lye) or can't trust eBay sellers. How can I substitute it with baking soda?

[@nellgwenn]

My mom has been making this pie shell for as long as I've known her. Also Key Lie pie. She makes the best cheese cake I've ever tasted. I hate cheese cake that sits in your gut like a rock. Hers is light and creamy.

[@GrillTopExperience]

Yes! Perfect for a chocolate haupia pie. Never buy store bought Graham cracker crusts again.

[@Ottawa411]

I was confused until I googled it. Delicious.

[@deejaydubla]

Here for that Key Lime Content.

[@lwk4229]

You might need this too

[@countryvita]

Could you substitute Ritz Crackers instead of Graham Crackers? Just wondering.

[@marymary5494]

I’m wondering what a British/Irish alternative to graham crackers is?

[@AwesomeMillerChill]

So yesterday I was making a cheesecake with a pastry crust from my 1930s cookbook and I was thinking does Glen have a video for gram cracker crust and then I saw this

[@pparker1012]

Hi Glen, I am in the market for a new food processor. What brand/model are you using?

[@thatonefriend7114]

I used digestive biscuits and had an 8.5 inch something pan. When I put it in the oven, the middle began to puff up, and the butter layer was visible on top. What is the reason for this? Should I not bake it and just put it in the freezer for a few minutes?

[@nancyjohnson5810]

I add a little cinnamon to mine 1/2 teaspoon full. I tried the saltine crust but personally didn't like it at all for a pie crust.

[@leslieshilling1827]

Is it necessary to add the sugar? Graham crackers are sweet as it is no?

[@questeusher]

When someone says pie I instantly think savory like stake and kidney, it wasn't until you added the sugar that I realised this was for a sweet pie

[@Ottawa411]

There was a British themed restaurant near me that made fantastic steak and kidney pie. They closed down years ago and I haven't had it since. So sad.

[@JamesCorp]

So I’m in the uk we don’t have graham crackers what can I use?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

@James Chambers Use Digestives - same basic ingredients as Graham Crackers.

[@tjs114]

Saltines is a genericized trademark for soda crackers in the same way that Kleenex is for facial tissue. I'm sure people could come up with several others.

[@byron7165]

And flapper pie. I would really love it if you would research the history of the flapper pie. I think you'll get the best starting research in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

[@tonyp9179]

We use triscuits

[@NixLyndon]

Dare cookies for a 1$ at No Frills. They have Coconut or Breakfast flavor. I love using them with your Lemon Island pies or Keylime pie.

[@eriggle2]

Is this for three pie crusts or one?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

The recipe is for 1 pie crust -

[@maranscandy9350]

Tears On Your Pillow Pie. Bob Andy Pie. Vinegar Pie. Sugar Cream Pie. Flapper Pie. Osgood Pie. Funny Cake Pie. Then there’s the Impossible Pies that need no pie shell because they make their own.

[@johnmirbach2338]

could you do some recipes that are keto friendly ?? 🤞😊

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Not in this series.

[@MrBohank]

I make cheesecakes all the time. My crusts never the way I want lol

[@RobotPorter]

Real New York cheesecake never has a crust. Although when you see get in a restaurant anywhere outside of NY, it invariably has a graham cracker crust. So, maybe you should trying doing it the NY way. And go crustless!

[@RobotPorter]

@@notahotshot Okay, but that doesn't help if you're having problems with the crust. Plus, everyone knows NY cheesecake is the best. ;)

[@jamesellsworth9673]

@@RobotPorter Well...yes: but the batter makes its own crust, a thin and lovely thing! AND in New York City, I have just as often found cheesecake with a crust. So, 'go figure.' Any way it comes, with a proper cheese filling and, maybe a fruit topping, this is Classic American Dessert.

[@docclabo6350]

In this recipe, you call for 'Maria' biscuits as an alternative to graham crackers. In your Island Lemon Pie recipe, you call for 'Marie" biscuits. As an ignorant American, can I assume there is no practical difference?

You've got weird thumbs.

what is graham? in the uk wtf is graham crackers? sorry Glen, you've lost me now

A Graham Cracker is a sweeter, less salty Digestive Biscuit.
