No Fail Oil Piecrust (Sherry Israel)

Sent with love to be prepared with love:

Place directly into 9” pie pan and mix together:
1 ½ cups flour*
½ tsp salt

Pour together in measuring cup:
½ cup oil
2 Tbsp liquid (milk, water, juice, soymilk)

Pour liquids into center of flour mixture; stir with fork until very well blended.

With fingers, spread evenly in pan and up sides.

- For one crust pie, flute top edges. Put in filling. Bake at temperature/time recommended for filling.

-For prebaked crust, into which fillings are poured, prick thoroughly with fork, bake at 375degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

-For two crust pie, double measurements. Mix in pan. Remove a bit less than half for top crust. On plastic wrap, press with fingers into a circle.

*Use white flour for dessert pie (I prefer unbleached). For quiche crust, substitute whole wheat for ½ cup of the white flour.
