 Fat Free Pie Crust | Status Approved | | Name | Fat Free Pie Crust | | Category | The Bakery, Vegetarian & Special Diets | | Serves/Yields | 2 x 9 inch Pie Crusts | | Source | Paula's Own | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 10 Minutes | | Cook Time | 20 Minutes | | Introduction | | Being from England, I love pie and mash! The only problem is, theres so much fat in pies. After watching a diet programme, I decided to try to make a crust with either no fat or hardly any fat at all, so that I could eat more! :-)
This is so easy, and can be used with any filling. You can also change the squash for apples for a sweet pie. It makes such a pretty crust, and very tasty. | | Ingredients | | 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Egg
1 Cup Cooked, Mashed Butternut Squash (peeled) | | Directions | | Step: 1 | Place flour, egg and squash into a food processor and pulse until it forms a doughy ball. Use with your favourite pie recipe!
NB - Mushrooms can also be added to the mixture to make a more tasty crust in chicken and mushroom pot pie. If you do this, add 6 button mushrooms to the food processor, but you will need an extra (approx) 3/4 cup of flour due to the water content of the mushrooms. |
