Oil Crust

This recipe is almost as good as a basic crust, but is much easier and more forgiving.

 

1 1/3 cups sifted flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup milk

 

Mix flour and salt together.

Pour milk and oil into one measuring cup, do not stir, and add to flour all at once.

Stir until mixed, and shape into a flattened ball.

Cover in wax paper and plastic wrap, and chill it at least 15 minutes.

Roll it out and use it.

FOR A BASIC 9" DOUBLE CRUST (a pie with both a bottom crust and a top crust):

Double the ingredients and prepare the dough as above.  Before forming the ball, divide in half and form 2 balls.  One will be the top crust, one will be the bottom crust.
