Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475°F.
- Mix together all of the ingredients. Stir with a fork until thoroughly mixed. Do not over-work the dough.
- Shape this mixture into a ball and place it between two pieces of wax paper that have been dusted with flour. Roll the pastry into a circle large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie pan.
- Spray pan with a non-fat cooking spray and Arrange crust in pan. Cut off the edges that hang over.
- Prick the bottom with a fork and brush over with a little bit of beaten egg white. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before adding filling.
- It's probably a good idea to prebake it before using it in almost any recipe.
- Note: If you are making a pie where the filling needs to be cooked with the shell, simply bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or however long the recipe calls for. Work foil over edges while baking so the crust won't get overbrown. Remove foil for the last five minutes.

Tips for Making Pastry with No Trans Fat:
- Use butter or margarine that is free of trans fat. Check the label carefully to make sure that the product does not contain any hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.
- If you are using butter, let it soften to room temperature before using. This will make it easier to cream together with the other ingredients.
- Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour. This will create small pieces of butter that will melt and create a flaky crust.
- Add just enough water to the dough to make it come together. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too soft and sticky.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Do not overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
- Bake the pastry at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
Making pastry with no trans fat is a simple and delicious way to enjoy your favorite baked goods. By following these tips, you can create a flaky, golden brown crust that is sure to impress your family and friends.
