This always comes out light and flakey, even the scraps when you re-roll them. The oats give a slight nutty flavor to the pastry but are not obvious. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder |
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats |
1 cup shortening |
8 - 10 tablespoons ice water; or more as needed |
Directions:
1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Cut in the shortening until the size of peas.
3. Mix in the water a tablespoon at a time with a fork until the dough comes together.
4. This recipe takes a bit more water than standard pastry because the oats absorb some water.
5. Divide the dough in half and form each into a 1/2 inch thick disk, wrap each half in plastic and chill before rolling.
6. Makes enough for a 10-inch double crust pie.
7. NOTES : If desired, may add 1 tablespoon grated orange rind with the dry ingredients.
