Description

I’ve never done very well with pie crust and always relied on store-bought. But I decided to try this recipe and was so pleased with the outcome, I’ll never buy the ready-made again! No rolling out involved. Just press the crust into your pie pan! Very easy and the result is a tasty, flaky crust!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon White Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk

Preparation

If not filling the crust, preheat oven to 400 degrees. If you’re going to fill the crust, follow your recipe directions, add the filling, and baking accordingly.

Place all the ingredients into a 9″ pie pan. Stir together with a fork. Pat the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Poke holes into the bottom and sides of the crust (if you are not filling it).

Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven or until golden brown. Fill as desired!

(I used this recipe to make a pumpkin pie, filling and baking it. It came out great!)

This recipe lives up to its name! It really is as easy as described, and turns out flaky, light and tasty. To make a top crust for a fruit pie, simply mix the same ingredients in a bowl, dump it on the filling, and smooth it out with a spatula. No one will know you didn’t roll it out!
