Recipe Introduction


This basic recipe is fundamental to any low-carb repertoire. It can be used
to create countless sweet and savory dishes.



List of Ingredients




1 cup Atkins Quick Cuisine Bake Mix TM
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons cold water


Recipe



1. In a food processor, pulse bake mix, salt and butter until the texture
resembles a coarse meal. Drizzle in water and continue pulsing until the
dough just starts to come together. Turn onto a sheet of plastic, form into
a ball and cover. Flatten to a 7-inch disc and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Roll out between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch circle. Remove
top sheet of plastic and invert pastry onto a 9-inch pie plate. Center the
pastry and press onto the bottom and sides of the dish. Remove the remaining
plastic, roll under the edges and crimp decoratively. Freeze for 15 minutes.

3. Use unbaked crust as indicated in recipe of your choice. Or for a
prebaked crust, heat the oven to 400º . Prick the bottom and corners of the
pie shell with a fork and cover lightly with foil. Bake for 16 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until golden. Cool on a
rack before using.

If you aren't adept at rolling dough, simply pat crust in an even layer into
pie plate.
