PASTRY PIE CRUST

1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp lite salt (optional)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 T skim milk

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Combine
the syrup and milk, adding this to the flour mixture. Stir with a
fork until thoroughly mixed. Do not over-work the dough. Shape this
mixture into a ball and place between two peices 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. Arrange crust in pan. Cut off the edges that hang over.
Prick the bottom with a fork. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool before adding filling. If you are making a pie where the filling
needs to be cooked with the shell, simply bake at 350 degrees 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 last five
minutes.
