Crust-Ricotta Pie Crust

Source of Recipe

copykat.com


List of Ingredients



2 cups sifted self-rising flour
3/4 cup smooth ricotta cheese (chilled)
1/2 cup buttermilk (chilled)
1 egg white (or equivalent egg substitute)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 tablespoons skim milk (chilled)




Recipe

**Depending on what you are using this crust for you can add some fresh or dried herbs/spices such as thyme, rosemary, poultry seasoning, basil, garlic, etc.

Blend flour, ricotta, buttermilk, egg white, any herbs/spices, and oil in blender using pulse button until just mixed. With blender on, slowly add chilled skim milk if necessary so that you have a pastry-like consistency (I found mixture to be perfect without the milk). Roll out onto floured board and need for a few minutes. Wrap in plastic, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Roll out and use like pastry. Cooks in about 20-25 minutes in moderate oven.
