Biscuit Crust

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbs baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
6 Tbs butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup milk

1) Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor.
2) Add the butter and pulse until it resembles coarse meal.
3) Add the milk and pulse until it forms a dough.
4) Split the dough in half and roll out each on a well floured surface one at a time.
5) When baking this pie crust, brush the top with melted butter or an egg wash, slit some holes in it and bake as per the pie instructions.  If baking at 350F for longer than 20-30 minutes, you can loosely cover the top with foil for all but the last 20 minutes to keep it from getting too dark.

Review: This recipes makes 2 crusts, so it's perfect for savory dishes that need a top crust!
