Low Fat Honey Wheat Pie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup flour, gluten, and salt together in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture using a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Mix 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon water into the flour mixture using your hands until dough easily forms a ball; add more water if needed.
• Flatten dough into a pancake-like shape on a floured surface; sprinkle top of dough liberally with about 1 tablespoon flour. Roll dough, using a rolling pin, into a thin pie crust about 1-inch larger than your pie pan. Roll the crust onto the rolling pin and transfer to the pie pan.

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).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Mix flour, bran and salt in a large bowl.
• Add mayonnaise and honey and stir until crumbly.
• Add water 1 tablespoon at a time and stir with fork until dough forms.
• Roll out on bran-floured surface.
• Bake 15-20 minutes until golden.
• Use this in your favorite recipe.

Steps:

• Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Cut in the shortening until it is distributed evenly.
• Add the applesauce and mix until blended evenly.
• Stir in the water or juice with a fork until the dough starts to stick together, but is not sticky.
• Work the dough into a ball, then turn onto a floured board and roll out as needed.
• If the dough keeps springing back when rolled, let it rest for 10 minutes, then proceed.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Whisk together the all-purpose flour, wheat flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Whisk together the water, honey, and yogurt until smooth. Stir the yogurt mixture into the flour until a crumbly dough forms.
• Roll out 2/3 of the dough to fit a 8 inch pie plate. Bake the bottom crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the top crust into a 10 inch circle. Cut into 1/2 inch strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Set aside.
• Combine lemon juice, egg white, sugar, and butter in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the blueberries and return to a low boil. Stir continuously until the berries burst.
• Place boysenberries and sliced strawberries into the baked pie shell, then pour the hot blueberry mixture on top and gently stir. Dot with butter, if desired. Add the pastry strips one at a time, weaving a lattice. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and flute the crust. Brush lattice with egg wash, milk, or water, and sprinkle with sugar (optional).
• Return assembled pie to the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the pie to cool for 1 hour and 30 minutes before serving.
