Flaky Pie Crust (Whole Wheat)

 

Recipe By :Vegan Vittles by Joanne Stepaniak

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pie

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup corn oil -- or canola oil

3 tablespoons cold low-fat nondiary milk -- more or less, as needed

or water

to about 6 tablespoons

 

Have ready one 9-inch pie plate. Place the flour and salt in a large mixing

bowl, and stir them together.

 

Cut in the oil with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse

crumbs.

 

Sprinkle the milk or water over the flour mixture, tossing gently with a fork to

lightly moisten the dry ingredients. (Too much liquid will make the dough

sticky; not enough liquid will make it dry.) The flour should be evenly

moistened, not damp or soggy. With your hands, quickly form the dough into a

all, handling it as little as possible.

 

Place the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and roll it out into a circle

about one inch larger than your pie plate. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper.

Carefully flip the crust over, and lay it in the pie plate with the dough

against the plate. Working very carefully and gently, remove the second sheet

of waxed paper. Ease the crust into the pie plate without stretching or tearing

it. Trim the edges or turn them under to within 1/4 inch of the rim and flute

them.

 

Thoroughly prick the sides and bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork to

keep air bubbles from forming under the surface.

 

FOR PIES THAT WILL BE FILLED AND CHILLED, OR BAKED VERY BRIEFLY: To fully bake

the crust, place it in a preheated 400F degree oven for about 20 minutes or

until it turns a rich brown color and is crisp. Remove the crust from the oven,

and allow it to cool before filling it.

NOTES : Cook's hint: if you lightly moisten your countertop with water it will

help to keep wax paper from sliding.
