Low-Fat Pastry Pie Crust

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 475°.
2. 2
   Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Combine the syrup and milk, adding this to flour mixture.
3. 3
   Stir with a fork until thoroughly mixed.
4. 4
   Do not overwork the dough. Shape the mixture into a ball and place it between two pieces of wax paper that have been dusted with flour.
5. 5
   Roll the pastry into a circle large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie pan.
6. 6
   Spray pan with a nonfat cooking spray.
7. 7
   Arrange crust in pan.
8. 8
   Cut off the edge that hangs over.
9. 9
   Prick the bottom with a fork.
10. 10
    Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.
11. 11
    Cool before adding filling.
12. 12
    If you are making a pie where the filling needs to be cooked with the shell, simply bake at 350° for 45 minutes or however long the recipe calls for. Wrap foil over edges while baking so the crust won't get overbrown. Remove last 5 minutes.
