The Healthy Pie Crust Recipe

Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 pinch salt .
1/4 c natural corn oil (I just used canola, & a bit less than 1/4 c) .
1/2 c ice water (Not sure what original recipe meant by that, so I just used semi-cold water. Worked fine.) .
3/4 c unbleached flour .
3/4 c whole-wheat pastry flour (Heh, I didn't use pastry.. I just used regular..)

Directions

Step #1 Stir the flours together in a small bowl & freeze for one hr.
Step #2 Freeze the oil in a separate container for an hr also.
Step #3 Remove both from freezer & mix the oil into the flour until it makes a crumbly dough.
Step #4 Stir the salt into the ice water & mix the water into the dough.
Step #5 Mix only enough to bind the dough.
Step #6 If it's too dry, add more water, a little at at time.
Step #7 I found it easiest to simply place the ball of dough into the pan, & squish it around with my hand -- Bake as directed for whatever recipe your using.
