The Healthy Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (Heh, I didn't use pastry.. I just used regular..)
    3/4 cup unbleached flour
    1/4 cup natural corn oil (I just used canola, and a bit less than 1/4 cup)
    1 pinch salt
    1/2 cup ice water (Not sure what original recipe meant by that, so I just used semi-cold water. Worked fine.)
Preparation
    Stir the flours together in a small bowl and freeze for one hour. Freeze the oil in a separate container for an hour also. Remove both from freezer and mix the oil into the flour until it makes a crumbly dough.
    Stir the salt into the ice water and mix the water into the dough. Mix only enough to bind the dough. If it's too dry, add more water, a little at at time.
    I found it easiest to simply place the ball of dough into the pan, and squish it around with my hand -- Bake as directed for whatever recipe your using.
