Title: Flaky Pie Crust (Amish Cooking)
Categories: Crust-, Pie
Yield: 1 Servings

2 c Sifted whole wheat flour
1 ts Salt
2 tb Wheat germ
3/4 c Margarine
4 tb Ice water (4-5 tablespoons)

Combine the flour with the salt in a medium sized bowl, then add the wheat
germ. With a pastry blender, cut in the margarine. Sprinkle the ice water
over the pastry and mix it with a fork. The pastry should be just moist
enough to hold together.

This dough handles like any other using white flour, but it's far more
nutritious.
