Ladies this is a great pie crust especially for those that have difficulty rolling out pie dough. It is one of my favorites when I am in a hurry and just don't feel like all the mess. This is also a great recipe to let the kids make, as it is made in the pie pan and its like play dough! I found this crust to be very light...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 c flour + 3 tablespoons
1/2 tsp salt
PLACE THE FLOUR AND SALT IN AN 8 INCH PIE PAN
MAKE A WELL WITH THE FLOUR AND SALT MIXTURE IN THE PAN
MIX IN A MEASURING CUP THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS:
1/2 c canola oil
3 Tbsp milk
WISK THE OIL AND MILK TO BLEND AND ADD TO THE WELL AREA IN THE FLOUR MIXTURE IN THE PAN.
IF YOU FIND THE PLIABILITY OF THE DOUGH TOO DRY OR TOO WET COMPENSATE WITH MILK. KEEP IN MIND HUMIDITY DOES COME INTO PLAY HERE.

Steps:

  • 1. I mix this with a fork at the beginning until it gets like a play dough consistency then begin kneading in the pan to complete the mixing.
  • 2. Once mixed begin patting to the sides and the bottom of the pan taking care to not get it too thick in any areas, It should be pressed to be somewhat level.
  • 3. Now just as you would a rolled pie crust you can press the top edge to form that pretty edge or just leave it straight across. Your preference!
  • 4. Either bake empty and fill later or fill now with your choice of filling.
  • 5. If your baking just the pie crust alone bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.
