The Healthy Pie Crust

Total Time: 6 mins Preparation Time: 6 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (heh, i didn't use pastry.. i just used regular..)
• 3/4 cup unbleached flour
• 1/4 cup natural corn oil (i just used canola, and a bit less than 1/4 cup)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 cup ice water (not sure what original recipe meant by that, so i just used semi-cold water. worked fine.)

Recipe

• 1 stir the flours together in a small bowl and freeze for one hour. freeze the oil in a separate container for an hour also. remove both from freezer and mix the oil into the flour until it makes a crumbly dough.
• 2 stir the salt into the ice water and mix the water into the dough. mix only enough to bind the dough. if it's too dry, add more water, a little at at time.
• 3 i found it easiest to simply place the ball of dough into the pan, and squish it around with my hand -- bake as directed for whatever recipe your using.
