Ingredients

2-1/2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1/4 cups Quick Cooking Oats
1 cup Shortening
8 Tablespoons Ice Water, Or More As Needed

Directions

1

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening until the size of peas. Mix in the water a tablespoon at a time with a fork until the dough comes together. This recipe takes a bit more water than standard pastry because the oats absorb some water. Divide the dough in half and form each into a 1/2 inch thick disk, wrap each half in plastic and chill before rolling. Makes enough for a 10-inch double crust pie.

NOTES : If desired, may add 1 tablespoon grated orange rind with the dry ingredients. Or add 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese or chopped herbs for savory pies, such as quiche.
