The Tastiest No-Roll Pie Crust Ever

Submitted by Chef Glaucia

"This recipe comes from "The Baker's Catalogue". This is a wonderful cholesterol-free pie crust and contains just 2 to 4 teaspoons of "good" fat-olive oil-per serving."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 cups pastry flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2⁄3 cup olive oil (use light or extra-light for best flavor )
• 1⁄3 cup water, cold

directions

1. Stir together the dry ingredients.
2. Stir together the wet ingredients.
3. Combine the two, stirring just to blend.
4. Divide the mixture in half; it will make 2 single crusts or one crust plus a streusel topping.
5. Press half of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie pan, crimping the edges.
6. Use the other half to make the bottom crust for another pie or put it back in the mixing bowl, add 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Mix till it becomes moist/crumbly. Fill your prepared crust, spread the topping over the filling, and bake as directed.
