No Cholesterol Low Fat Pie Crust Recipes

HEALTHY PIE CRUST

Steps:

• To a bowl, add the almond flour, all purpose flour and salt. Whisk them together to combine.
• Gradually add the milk, stirring as you go. You might not need it all. You might need a tiny bit more. It varies a little everytime. Once it starts looking clumpy, get a clean hand in there and feel it. You need to use just enough milk so the dough holds its shape when you squeeze it together in your hand, feels supple and will be easily rollable. Bring the dough together into a ball.
• At this stage you can either roll out the pastry with a rolling pin or just press it into your dish or pan with your hands. Unlike regular pastry dough, because there is no solid fat in this recipe, it doesn't matter if you handle it a lot.
• If rolling it out, transfer to a clean, well-floured surface. If you have a silicone baking mat they work really well for rolling pastry dough out on.
• Roll it out to 2 or 3 inches larger than your pie/quiche/tart dish. Sprinkle with flour as needed to stop any sticking.
• Lift carefully by partially rolling the rolled out pastry around the rolling pin, and gently lower into the dish. Press into the dish gently then trim around the edges with a sharp knife or crimp if you are lining a pie dish.
• Prick all over the bottom of the crust with a fork

NO SUGAR, NO FAT, NO CHOLESTEROL PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stir pumpkin into skillet & heat slowly.
• Add the egg whites and cheese, stirring until cheese starts to melt. (If the eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit.).
• Mix in the Splenda and spice.
• Mix egg replacer well with the water, add.
• Stir whole mixture, pour into crust.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 350, bake 15-20 more minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• The cheese is what "binds." Blended with the egg whites, the two substitute beautifully for the not-healthy evaporated milk. (Fat free, nice, but as much sugar as a candy bar.) And you needn't bake at such high temps for so long, because you're not waiting for sugar to melt, egg yolks to cook - and you've already heated your ingredients.

CHICKEN POT PIE - NO CHOLESTEROL & EXTREMELY LOW IN FAT &

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.).
• In a saucepan, combine 1-1/4 C broth, carrots & peas. Bring to boil & simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat & drain the broth onto the TVP. Push the TVP down to be sure to hydrate all. Allow to hydrate for 15 minutes.
• In a skillet or saucepan over medium heat, cook onions & celery in oil until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring regularly until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• While your onions are cooking, make a double recipe of pie crust #171844, but reduce sugar to 1/2 and substitute 1/2 of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. Do NOT omit the OJ. Use lightly floured plastic wrap on your counter and roll out 1/2 the pie crust. Invert it into your pie pan, being sure you mend holes by using your fingers.
• Brush 1 teaspoon eggbeater (opt.) onto bottom crust.
• Combine TVP, peas & carrots. Pour into bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over.
• Roll out the 2nd pie crust, again on floured plastic wrap. Flip it onto your pie, seal edges & cut away excess dough.
• Brush 1 teaspoon eggbeaters (opt.) on top crust. Make several small slits in the crust to allow for steam to escape.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

FAT FREE PIE CRUST

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.
