WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST

This is my very favorite pie crust. It is a recipe from Cabbagetown Cafe. Use it for quiches and pies.

2 1/2 C whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 t salt
3/4 C frozen butter
1/2 C cold water

In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Grate the butter with a medium grater over the flour. Toss with a fork until the butter is evenly distributed.

Toss in the cold water a little at a time and stir lightly with a fork.

Form the dough into 2 balls.

Butter your pie pan.

Roll out the crusts, 1 at a time. First knead the ball about 10 times on a floured counter so the ball holds together. Press the dough down so it becomes a flattened ball. Now roll out with a rolling pin from the center. Be sure to turn the crust over frequently.
