Oatmeal Pastry
From whodunitrdr 15 years ago
- 50 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This always comes out light and flakey, even the scraps when you re-roll them. The oats give a slight nutty flavor to the pastry but are not obvious.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon sugar shopping list
- 1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder shopping list
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats shopping list
- 1 cup shortening shopping list
- 8 - 10 tablespoons ice water; or more as needed shopping list
How to make it
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Cut in the shortening until the size of peas.
- Mix in the water a tablespoon at a time with a fork until the dough comes together.
- This recipe takes a bit more water than standard pastry because the oats absorb some water.
- Divide the dough in half and form each into a 1/2 inch thick disk, wrap each half in plastic and chill before rolling.
- Makes enough for a 10-inch double crust pie.
- NOTES : If desired, may add 1 tablespoon grated orange rind with the dry ingredients.
