Pie Crust Tips
Lots of pie crust recipes are available at allrecipes.com. Be sure to read the reviews before making your selection. Try adding a bit of whole wheat flour, or oat flour to replace the white flour in pie crust recipes. You might start with substituting a few tablespoons or a quarter of a cup in single crust recipes, or a half cup of these flours in double crust recipes. Continue to increase the amounts in future baking until you are satisfied with the results.
Recipes containing canola oil appear to be the most heart healthy. My personal favorite pie crust contains white flour, half butter and half shortening. Not the healthiest choice, so I’m not including the recipe here. I plan on developing a blended flour pie crust recipe that relies on oil in the near future. I’ll be sure to share the results with you.
I roll my pie crusts out between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap, and then flip the crust into the pie pan, and again atop the pie.
