Perhaps you can try to butter the pan before you sticky the crust in it.
Generally speaking, yes. The flour will help the pie crust to come away from the pan cleanly, and not stick and fall apart.
Is there a chance you are talking about Pillsbury Pie Crust Sticks, instead? They are listed on a list of discontinued products here: http://www.hometownfavorites.com/btwgb.asp My Pillsbury Oreo Brownie Bar mix is on there too =/
For pies made in pie plates, a crust lines the pan, a filling is added and the pie is baked. For cream pies, the crust is cooked through and then the filling is added and the pie is cooled. Some pies are fried. In this case the crust is folded over the filling and the edges are sealed and then the pie is fried.
For a pumpkin pie, the best crust can be store bought or if you want a homemade crust, you might want to check out www.foodnetwork.com. Once there, type in pumpkin pie or pie crust and a recipe should appear.
The type of pan is unlikely to effect the nature of the pie crust. For a light delicate crust, one must use the correct proportions of flour, fat and water in the dough, and handle the dough as little as possible when rolling out.
A pie crust shrinks somewhat after being rolled out. This is partly due to the elastic quality of gluten in the flour. You can minimize shrinking by allowing the unbaked pie shell to "rest" after rolling out and fitting it in the pan - that is, simply let it sit for about 20 minutes before filling and baking the pie.
Glass or ceramic make the best pies. They hold the heat more evenly. Glass has the benefit of being see-through, so you can see the color of the crust. Metal pie pans sometimes give pies a metallic taste. Dont put a frozen pie in a glass dish into a hot oven or the glass will break!
A single pie crust is just the bottom crust on a finished pie. For instance, a French Silk or pumpkin pie is a single crust pie.A double crust is a pie that has a bottom, filling and then a top crust to cover the pie. A traditional apple or blueberry pie is a double crust. An apple pie with a crumble topping instead of that second crust on top is a single crust pie.
You can use a round cake pan, although the crust may not turn out as planned. This works better for cold pies such as cream pies and meringue pies. Hot pies, such as fruit pies and cobblers, would benefit from being baked in a pie pan - the edges are sloped, which will change how it crisps.
A pie remains a pie regardless of the type of crust it is baked in.
