Yield 2 doughs

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 heaping teaspoon salt
2/3 cup organic vegetable shortening
6 to 7 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flours, flaxseed meal and salt. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in 1/3 cup vegetable shortening to the texture of a fine meal. Cut in the remaining 1/3 cup shortening to larger pieces, about the size of small peas. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons ice water over the mixture and gently combine with a fork or a wooden spoon. Sprinkle another 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water and bring together gently in a ball. Wrap in wax paper and chill until use. When ready to use, roll one disk out to a 1/2-inch thickness and place into desired pie plate.
