No Roll Pie Crust- Single Shell

[kimrose]

This is a great recipe for making quick and easy pies, a must for us busy workin folk.

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup salad oil
3 tablespoons cold milk

Stir together, flour, sugar and salt into pie pan. Combine salad oil and milk in a measuring cup. Beat with a fork until creamy, pour all at once over flour. Mix with a fork until flour is completley dampened. Push and press evenly with fingers to uniform thickness, lining bottom and sides of pie pan. Shape and press dough to even edge, pinch lightly with fingers to flute.

Baked Shell: Prick surface with fork,bake at 425 F, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool. Fill as desired.
Unbaked Shell: Fill as desired, bake at 400 F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 F and bake until filling is done.

P.S. I usually add a crumble topping. My family loves these pies!

Your right Kim
This is a great quick pie crust recipe
Works great with custard pies, or like a fresh strawberry, raspberry pie.
It's a little too sweet to me for friut pies,(apple, peach)
I have to try it without the sugar

It is 1 1/2 teaspoons..won't affect much, IMHO..
By the way.. I never tried salad oil in crust..always
shortening in the U.S. South.. I guess I need to try
this and thanks~!:)

Lana, I've used a recipe quite often for pie crust that uses corn oil. It's my favorite. You have to roll it between two pieces of waxed paper, then take off the top piece of waxed paper and use the bottom waxed paper to place the pie crust in the pie plate. It's a thinner crust and the flakiest I've ever eaten. Delish!

LOL Lana,
IMHO 1 1/2 tsp is alot of sugar for a single crust:D
With diabetes in our family.
I just try not to add sugar ifn I can,
actually I prefer it with out the sugar.
There's more than enough in the filling ;)
Not to mention ice cream, cool whip .....
And nothing beats a good ole' fashioned shortening crust.
Did you know that in less than two hundred years, the Western diet went from under four to ten pounds of sugar eaten per year to over one hundred and fifty pounds. Actually up till the turn of the century most people still used honey for their sweetening.
