Preparation facts

Servings: 16

Yield: 2 pie shells

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups (300g) all–purpose flour

1/4 tsp (2g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)

3 1/2 Tbs (45g) sugar

1/2 cup (120mL) rape seed oil

1/4 cup (60mL) ice water

2 Tbs (30mL) low–fat (1%) milk

Directions

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly add the oil and combine with a fork. Slowly add the ice water and milk. Use your hands to form a dough.

Separate dough into two balls, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and store until needed.

* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
