Low-Fat Oil Pastry

 

Recipe By : The (Almost) No Fat Holiday Cookbook, by Grogan, page 161

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pies And Pastry

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour -- MINUS

1 tablespoon whole wheat pastry flour

3/8 teaspoon salt

3/8 teaspoon baking powder

3/8 teaspoon sugar or Sucanat

3 tablespoons soymilk -- WITH

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice added

3 tablespoons oil -- (I use canola)

 

Makes one 9 " crust

 

Although this crust does contain fat, it has about half that of ordinary

pastry, and it uses oil rather than hard fat. Divided into 8 servings,

each piece with either a bottom or a top crust (not both) and a fat-free

filling will contain 5 grams of fat. The pastry flour and soured soy milk

make a tender crust that no one will guess is low-fat.

 

This recipe first appeared in the November 1994 issue of Vegetarian Times.

 

Mix the flours in a medium bowl with the salt, baking powder, and

sugar. Whisk together the soured soymilk and oil in a cup until well

blended. Pour this into the flour mixture, and mix gently with a fork

until it holds together in a ball. If it's too dry, sprinkle with a tiny

bit of water. If you have time, place the dough in a plastic bag, and

refrigerate it for an hour before rolling out. Roll out and bake as you

would an ordinary crust.

 

For savory pies, you can add 1/2 tsp. curry powder, if you like.
