No Cholesterol Low Fat Pie Crust Food

NO SUGAR, NO FAT, NO CHOLESTEROL PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stir pumpkin into skillet & heat slowly.
• Add the egg whites and cheese, stirring until cheese starts to melt. (If the eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit.).
• Mix in the Splenda and spice.
• Mix egg replacer well with the water, add.
• Stir whole mixture, pour into crust.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 350, bake 15-20 more minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• The cheese is what "binds." Blended with the egg whites, the two substitute beautifully for the not-healthy evaporated milk. (Fat free, nice, but as much sugar as a candy bar.) And you needn't bake at such high temps for so long, because you're not waiting for sugar to melt, egg yolks to cook - and you've already heated your ingredients.

CHICKEN POT PIE - NO CHOLESTEROL & EXTREMELY LOW IN FAT &

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.).
• In a saucepan, combine 1-1/4 C broth, carrots & peas. Bring to boil & simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat & drain the broth onto the TVP. Push the TVP down to be sure to hydrate all. Allow to hydrate for 15 minutes.
• In a skillet or saucepan over medium heat, cook onions & celery in oil until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and celery seed. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring regularly until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• While your onions are cooking, make a double recipe of pie crust #171844, but reduce sugar to 1/2 and substitute 1/2 of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. Do NOT omit the OJ. Use lightly floured plastic wrap on your counter and roll out 1/2 the pie crust. Invert it into your pie pan, being sure you mend holes by using your fingers.
• Brush 1 teaspoon eggbeater (opt.) onto bottom crust.
• Combine TVP, peas & carrots. Pour into bottom pie crust. Pour hot liquid mixture over.
• Roll out the 2nd pie crust, again on floured plastic wrap. Flip it onto your pie, seal edges & cut away excess dough.
• Brush 1 teaspoon eggbeaters (opt.) on top crust. Make several small slits in the crust to allow for steam to escape.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

NO FAIL PIE CRUST I

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs.

• Wrap with plastic and chill in a refrigerator until ready to prepare.

FAT FREE PIE CRUST

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.

• If the dough keeps springing back when rolled, let it rest for 10 minutes, then proceed.
