Pie Crust

Ingredients

1 ½ dl white flour

1 ½ dl whole wheat flour or grahams flour

½ tsp. salt

75 ml boiling water

75 ml light olive oil

 

Instructions

Mix the flour, wheat germ, and salt. Add the water and oil all at once. Stir with a fork. Divide dough into two balls. Roll each ball out between two sheets of baking paper. For a recipe calling for a prebaked pie crust do the following. Place in a pie pan, flute the edges and prick the pastry with a fork. Bake at 220 for about 15 minutes. Watch so as not to burn.

 

Tip

This pie is great made with pumpkin or butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes. Also, for variation try seasoning it with a ¼ teaspoon coriander & ¼ teaspoon cardamom, instead of the usual seasonings.

 

To get a crispy crust on the bottom of the pie, bake it on the bottom of the oven.
