OIL PIE CRUST
Here is a simple pastry crust that does not use lard. It is far easier to work, is cholesterol free, and is as flaky as a lard crust!
2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use Wesson) 1/4 cup milk (any will do, skim to whole)
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the center.
Pour oil and milk together into a measuring cup. Add all at once to flour mixture. Mix gently with a fork and your fingers until liquid is absorbed. Work only until a dough is formed. If it is too dry, add a touch of oil. If too wet, a touch of flour. Do not knead.
Divide into two portions. Will make two nine inch crusts. Roll between wax paper to correct size.
When baking, use a lower temperature for this crust, generally not over 375F. I usually bake my pies at 350F for nearly an hour.
