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

BASIC 100% WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST
I generally try to eat as many whole grain foods as I can and I was astonished to discover not a single basic 100% whole wheat pie crust recipe here at Allrecipes. So here's mine! I previously had trouble with whole wheat pie crusts; they tended to be hard to work with and crumbly. Then I added wheat gluten, as I do for bread, and voila! This makes enough for one 8-inch pie. If you're making a recipe that requires a top and bottom crust, double the recipe.

Steps:
- Mix 3/4 cup flour, gluten, and salt together in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture using a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Mix 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon water into the flour mixture using your hands until dough easily forms a ball; add more water if needed.
- Flatten dough into a pancake-like shape on a floured surface; sprinkle top of dough liberally with about 1 tablespoon flour. Roll dough, using a rolling pin, into a thin pie crust about 1-inch larger than your pie pan. Roll the crust onto the rolling pin and transfer to the pie pan.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt. And cubed butter.
- Pulse a few times until pea-sized pieces form.
- Slowly add 1 tbsp of water at a time, stopping when you fill up your spoon with water.
- Pulse and continue to add water until a ball has just formed with the dough.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the ball of dough in half.
- Roll out dough on top of plastic wrap, one ball at a time, to form the crust. Turn out dough into your pie pan and shape the edges by pushing your thumb of one hand into the thumb and pointer finger of your other hand on opposite edges of the dough and work all the way around.
- Continue with your pie recipe as instructed.
- You'll get a top and a bottom crust. You can freeze one if your recipe only calls for a bottom crust.

PECAN WALNUT HONEY PIE WITH WHEAT CRUST
Between handing out goodies to neighbors and hungry family members, I ran out of pie. Although I was out of some standard ingredients, I put this together and it turned out pretty good. My husband even prefers it over the *first* pecan pie and I will probably use this recipe now for nut pies; doing without HFCS is probably a good thing. ;) Warning: it is pretty sweet. I used Laurie's "No Roll Pie Crust", recipe #51537, subbing 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for white. Preparation time includes preparing crust.

Steps:
- Mix sugar, molasses, agave, honey, butter and salt until well blended, add beaten eggs, blend well.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts at the bottom of the prebaked pie crust, pour filling on top. This filling will be thicker than the traditional pecan pie filling.
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Place a sheet of foil loosely on top and continue to bake for 20-25 minutes, just until the pie is only slightly jiggly. Cool completely.

LOWER FAT PIE CRUST
The flavor is great, and almost as flaky as the full-fat version. A great substitute when you need to cut the fat in a favorite pie! This makes enough dough for an 8 or 9 inch two-crust pie.

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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl or in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle or a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the flours and salt and mix together. If using a bowl, make a well in the center, add the olive oil and mix in with a fork. If using a mixer or food processor, turn on and add the olive oil. When it is evenly distributed through the flour combine the water and vinegar or lemon juice and add it to the flour mixture with the machine running. The dough should come together in a ball.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, flour your hands and work the dough just until smooth and easy to shape into a ball. Do not overwork it or you will develop the gluten in the flour and the dough will be tough. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a ball and press into a 1/2-inch thick circle. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough as needed for savory tarts, dusting your work surface and the top of the dough with flour to prevent it from sticking. Pre-bake and bake as directed in recipes calling for the crust.

EASY WHOLE WHEAT PIE CRUST
So quick to make, and the brown sugar adds a little extra sweetness to the crust. Good workout for your arms too! FYI: One reviewer said to use "soft wheat" instead of "hard wheat"...I have only ever used the flour that is labeled "whole wheat flour" or "white whole wheat flour," no mention of hard or soft, so I'm not sure what that's about. It seems none of my other reviewers have had that problem.

- Cut the butter and shortening into a small dice, then place them in the freezer while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Place the all purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, then pulse a few times to combin. Scatter the butter and shortening pieces over the top. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of chickpeas. Some of the pieces will be small and others will be larger (about the size of a thumnail).

Add the remaining water one tablespoon at a time, just until the dough is moist enough to hold together with a small portion is pinched between your fingers. Pulse the machine until the dough forms a shaggy ball. Place the dough on a lightly floured board and pat into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

- Mix flour and salt in a large bowl or food processor. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender, two knives or by pulsing in the food processor until the butter forms pebble-size pieces with the flour. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is evenly moist (but not wet) and is just starting to clump together, being careful not to overmix.
- Pat the dough into a 5-inch disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Remove from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before rolling out.
- Roll the dough between sheets of parchment paper into a 12-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Remove the second sheet, trim off any overhanging dough and crimp the edges with a fork or spoon. Prick the crust with a fork several times; line with parchment paper and add enough pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice to cover the bottom.
