Flaky pie crust (amish cooking)
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | cups | Sifted whole wheat flour |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 | tablespoons | Wheat germ |
| ¾ | cup | Margarine |
| 4 | tablespoons | Ice water (4-5 tablespoons) |
Directions
Combine the flour with the salt in a medium sized bowl, then add the wheat germ. With a pastry blender, cut in the margarine. Sprinkle the ice water over the pastry and mix it with a fork. The pastry should be just moist enough to hold together.
This dough handles like any other using white flour, but it's far more nutritious.
