Graham Kerr'S Basic Pie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon Splenda granular (or sugar)
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 1/4 cup hard margarine or 1/4 cup butter, frozen for 15 minutes
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 4 tablespoons ice water
- In a food processor, combine flour, Splenda & salt. Pour in the oil & pulse until mixed. Cut the margaine or butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture. Pulse 10 times or until mixture is full of pea sized lumps.
- Pour in the vinegar and ice water. Pulse 10 more times or until dough begins to hold together. Remove dough from processor bowl & gather into 2 equal size balls, wrap separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
