Ingredients

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons soy milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients in a 8 or 9-inch pie plate. Pour the oil and milk over the dry ingredient mixture and work around with a fork or fingers until all of the liquid is absorbed. Press the crust firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. The bottom and sides of a glass accomplish this task nicely. Bake for 10-12 minutes and remove from oven, but leave oven on. Note: this crust, made with whole wheat flour makes beautiful, sturdy 4-inch tart crusts that hold up even when removed from the tart pans and slid off the removable bottoms. Like the larger crust, I bake them 10-12 minutes before filling.
