Recipe of the Day - April 26 (crunchy pie shell)
 

Crunchy Pie Shell

Ingredients
½ cup yellow cornmeal
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
¾ cup melted butter
¾ to 1 cup ice water

Preparation
Mix dry ingredients. Slowly add butter while mixing with a fork. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

When the dough starts to stick together in one mass, form into 3 balls using your hands.

Roll out each between pieces of waxed paper. Place in baking pan or pie pan.

Poke gently with fork in several places. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Makes 3 pie crusts.

You have to handl the dough as little as possible or it will become tough.
Also the water should be as close to freezing as you can get.
Pie shells take a lot of practice but are well worth it.
