Heart Healthy Pie Crust

Author/Submitted by: The Healing Foods Cookbook
Servings: 8
Categories: Crust-Pie / Desserts / Pies & Pastries

Ingredients:
2  c  unbleached flour
1/3  c  olive oil
1/4  c  water, ice cold

Directions:
Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a 9" pie pan with cooking spray and flour. Place flour in a bowl and drizzle with oil. Use a pastry blender to evenly distribute the oil and produce a mixture the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle on the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing until you can gather the dough into a ball. Roll the dough into a 11" circle onto a floured surface. Patch any cracks that may form, but otherwise try not to handle the dough more than necessary. Transfer the dough to a pie plate. Trim the dough, leaving a 1" overhang. Crimp the overhanging dough into a decorative edge. Chill the crust 20 minutes. Fill and bake according to your pie recipe directions. By "Lloyd A. Carver" <lloyd2@mindspring.com> on Jan 5, 1996
