Whole Wheat Canola Oil Pastry
"I got this recipe from the Canadian Living booth at the Good Food Festival in Toronto! Its a crisp, nutty-tasting pastry thats especially good as the base for my Rhubarb Crumble Pie (#91390)! Since it doesn't use butter, you don't need to chill it before rolling out."

Use excellent quality oil and it will be great. Next time I am going to use a tablespoon or so of my very special hazelnut oil for flavoring. But the best thing is how very easy this is to make! -
I am sorry but I found this to be too oily tasting. I wouldn't make this again. -
I was really happy with the result and the taste of the whole wheat base in my Apple Pie. I did not actually roll it out but pressed the dough into a pie dish evenly with my fingers. Thank you CL for this recipe. :) Fay

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
