Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour, (not self-rising)
2 tablespoon toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 tablespoon cold vegetable shortening
1/4 to 1/3 cup nonfat buttermilk

Steps:

  • Whisk together flours, wheat germ, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Blend in butter and shortening with a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

This pie crust is a little bland. I think I'll add some more salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pie crust, but this one is really good. It's not too thick or heavy.
