I haven’t baked a quiche since July 1st and it was more than enough waiting for making one… I baked plenty of fruit tarts during the summer but no quiche… really a pity!!! So I was all about making a classic spinach and tofu quiche for lunch today… but when picking the flour in the fridge (as you may know now, I keep all my flours in the vegetable drawer of my fridge), I found the bag of cornmeal too… and that was it! I wouldn’t make s regular pie crust with whole wheat flour but with a mix of whole wheat flour and cornmeal. And I wasn’t disappointed at all. It brings a touch of corn flavor, like a tortilla, and a bit of crispness. Simply amazing! The spinach-tomatoes-ham-fofu was nice too.
So here’s my pie crust recipe, simple as hell: 100g of cornmeal and 100g of whole wheat flour, 70g of butter, water. Mix all the ingredients, roll and use as a regular. It is also perfect for some small crackers.
