Made this last night, might make tartlets with it. Whole wheat crust is harder to work with on a larger scale. (for 2 9-inch crusts)

Ingredients

20 mins
12 servings
  1. 2 1/2 cupwhole wheat flour
  2. 1 dashsalt
  3. 1 tbspsugar (optional)
  4. 1/3-1/2 cupvegetable oil
  5. 6 tbspvodka or ice water
  6. 1egg if necessary

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Mix flour, salt, and sugar (if desired) together in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Blend in oil, the ice water, mixing with a fork until it forms a ball.. If pastry is to crumbly, you may want to add 1 beaten egg.

  3. 3

    I (LEAH) definitely needed the egg.

  4. 4

    Divide dough into 2 equal portions, and form each onto a ball.

  5. 5

    Roll dough out onto lightly floured surface

  6. 6

    Note: Lard, butter or shortening may be used in place of the oil, but this makes the dough harder to work with. Decrease flour to 2 cups if you use a solid rather than a liquid fat.

  7. 7

    Note: Whole wheat pastry is more difficult to work with, so you may want to master other pastry recipes before working with this one.
