Fat Free Pie Crust Food

LOW-FAT ALL-PURPOSE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In a food processor pulse together all-purpose flour, toasted wheat germ, salt, and baking powder. Add cold, unsalted butter, and process until largest pieces are the size of small peas.
• With machine running, add low-fat buttermilk until dough just holds together.
• Pat into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or overnight).

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Combine arrowroot starch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, and sugar in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter to flour mixture and pulse until mixture is the consistency of oatmeal.
• Transfer flour-butter mixture to a bowl; add eggs and vinegar. Knead mixture just until blended. Mix water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into dough (if dough is too dry) until dough holds together. Split dough into 2 balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface and sprinkle with arrowroot starch. Place 1 dough ball on the plastic wrap and flatten using your hands. Dust rolling pin with arrowroot starch and roll over dough until even thickness and about 9 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough.

FAT FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F/180 deg C.
• Mix together the Grape Nuts and apple juice concentrate.

FAT FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Mix together all of the ingredients. Stir with a fork until thoroughly mixed. Do not over-work the dough.
• Shape this mixture into a ball and place it between two pieces of wax paper that have been dusted with flour. Roll the pastry into a circle large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie pan.
• Spray pan with a non-fat cooking spray and Arrange crust in pan. Cut off the edges that hang over.
• Prick the bottom with a fork and brush over with a little bit of beaten egg white. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before adding filling.
• It's probably a good idea to prebake it before using it in almost any recipe.
• Note: If you are making a pie where the filling needs to be cooked with the shell, simply bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or however long the recipe calls for. Work foil over edges while baking so the crust won't get overbrown. Remove foil for the last five minutes.

NO SUGAR, NO FAT, NO CHOLESTEROL PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stir pumpkin into skillet & heat slowly.
• Add the egg whites and cheese, stirring until cheese starts to melt. (If the eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit.).
• Mix in the Splenda and spice.
• Mix egg replacer well with the water, add.
• Stir whole mixture, pour into crust.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 350, bake 15-20 more minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• The cheese is what "binds." Blended with the egg whites, the two substitute beautifully for the not-healthy evaporated milk. (Fat free, nice, but as much sugar as a candy bar.) And you needn't bake at such high temps for so long, because you're not waiting for sugar to melt, egg yolks to cook - and you've already heated your ingredients.

LOWER FAT PIE CRUST
