Thanks to the reviewer who tried this recipe without the sugar - and let me know it does *not* work that way after all. I had not tried it that way myself before posting; now that I know, I've updated the recipe. It really is a great dessert pie crust, though, as the other reviews confirm. This pie crust is best with fillings which contain milk or cheese - for example, it goes very well with Fudgy Peanut Butter Ricotta Pie (Fudgy Peanut Butter Ricotta Pie). In general, it's a good substitute for a graham cracker crumb crust. Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour |
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, cut in small pieces |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients (with a fork or with your fingers) until pastry resembles corn meal.
2. Press over bottom and sides of 9-inch pie plate.
3. Pre-bake the empty pie shell at 350 degrees - 10 minutes if using a pre-cooked filling (or a filling which doesn't require cooking) _OR_ 5 minutes if you will be baking the crust with the filling.
