Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I looked through the files but didnt see a multi purpose vegan pie crust. I would like to make the PB & J pastry that was on vegan lunchbox but all the store had was ones with lard. Does anyone have any suggestions or recipes for a fool proof pie crust that holds together well? Thanks a lot Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Here is a super easy pie crust that is Vegan. It is posted with my Vegetable Pot Pie in the Quiche, etc. folder. It is very good. You could 1/2 the ingredients for a regular pie crust. This is the size you need for a double layer in a large casserole dish. Judy Pie Crust 2 c. pastry flour or unbleached white flour 1/4 c. wheat germ 1 t. salt 1/2 c. vegetable oil 1/2 c. boiling water Mix salt and flour. Pour water and oil in all at once. Stir with a fork. Roll between two pieces of wax paper. Remove top paper. Lay crust side across the pie dish. Remove top wax paper. Flute edges. Moisten fluted edges so crust will not shrink in oven. Prick pastry to prevent puffing while baking. Bake in hot oven, 425-450 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until nicely browned. - mrswalp29 Saturday, February 17, 2007 6:24 PM pie crust I looked through the files but didnt see a multi purpose vegan pie crust.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 This is my first post here but I've been lurking for awhile. I have the Vegan Lunch Box cookbook and this is the Easy Pie Crust recipe she used to make the PB & J hearts. It really is easy! 2 cups all purpose flour (or 1/2 white, 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour) 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2/3 cup nonhydrogenated shortening 5-7 Tbsp ice water Stir or whisk the flour & salt in a mixinf bowl. Dot the top with spoonfuls of shortening. Cut the shortening in with a pastry cutter or by hand, tossing & rubbing the flour/shortening together with your fingers. Continue until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and all visible lumps are gone. Lightly drizzle water 1 Tbsp at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon, until you can bring the dough together into a ball. -- Liz ______________________________\ ____ Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail beta. http://new.mail.
