--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 3/4   c            Unbleached or whole wheat
                        - pastry flour
     1/2   ts           Salt
   2       ts           Baking powder
     1/2   ts           Baking soda
   1       tb           Safflower or soy margarine
     3/4   c            Soy milk
   2       ts           Honey or maple syrup

  Sift flour, salt if desired, baking powder, and baking soda into a
  large bowl. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the margarine into
  the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. In a measruing
  cup, combine soy milk and honey or syrup. Add the liquid mixture to
  the flour mixture, stirring with a fork to form a stiff dough. Add
  more buttermilk if dough is too dry.

  Knead lightly in bowl, about 3 to 5 minutes, until the dough is no
  longer sticky. Then turn out onto lightly floured surface. Roll out
  into desired shape. Makes enough crust to cover a 9- by 12" baking
  pan.
