Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine, chilled and cut up
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl or food processor. Add margarine and process, or mix together with your fingers, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and process, or mix, until a manageable dough forms; turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12-inch circle.
  • Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan or removable-bottom tart pan; prick the bottom all over with a fork, cover dough with foil and fill with dried beans or rice.
  • Bake 10 minutes. Remove beans and foil and bake until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Yields 8 slices per crust.
