Pie Shell

Pie Shell

Makes two 9 " pie shells

 

 

 

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

3/4 cup unbleached flour

1/4 cup oil (corn oil is best)

Pinch salt

1/2 cup ice water

 

 

 

To make pie shell, stir flours together in a small bowl and freeze

for 1 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. Stir salt into the ice water and mix the water

into the dough. Mix only enough to bind the dough. This may seem a

little wet at first - don't be concerned. If too dry, add a small

amount of water. Roll out half of this into a 10 " circle and lay into

a pie plate. Crimp the edges of the pan, all the way around, and cut

off any excess dough.
