A simple pie crust!

This is a very easy pie crust, makes 1 crust right in the plate! I bake it on whatever the pie recipe I'm making says.

I just put the ingredients right into my pie plate, mix it up a bit.

             1-1/2 c. flour (I've only used white flour so far!)
             4 t. sugar
             1/2 t. salt





now make a little well and dump in the the rest.

1/2 c. vegetable oil (its the only kind I've used so far)
about 2 T. milk (you might need a bit more if its to dry)

I mix with a fork, then do the rest with my hands till it forms a ball. If it seems to crumbly just add a touch more milk to the crust till its nice and smooth and a little oily.

Now you can press the dough towards the edges of the pie plate, till it covers it all. Its ready to put whatever filling you would like in!


I've just made some small pies with the recipe. I had a bit of dough left over so I pressed it into a round shape and put them on the little pies. I didn't have enough so I made a crumble crust with butter, sugar, flour and a bit of cinnamon all mixed up and sprinkled on top
