Flaky Crust (90), 238

This little gem is as tasty and flaky as the high-caloried cousin. It assembles in a minute and is easy to handle. It can be used for sweet pies or savory quiches.

1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1 cup flour
pinch of salt (optional)

In a large bowl, place oil and water. Stir in flour (and optional salt) and lightly stir until flour is incorporated. Dough is soft but not sticky. Pat dough evenly on the bottom and 1/2-inch up the sides of an ungreased 10-inch springform pan. Bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes or until very lightly browned. Crust will serve 10.
