Pastry Pie Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. lite salt (optional)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 Tbsp. 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 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. 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 over brown. Remove last five minutes.
