I once heard a man tell his new bride, that he liked his fruit between two crusts. Pie is still a favorite ending to a delicious meal. Even the fast food restaurants of today know that and offer a pie that is hand held.....of course, fruit wraped in crust.
For the modern housewife, the crust is the reason they do not like to make pie. It is messy, time consuming, likely to fail in the rolling out , and just too much work.
Here, I offer a recipe for the crust that is so easy and very delicious. I usually get the compliment on the crust not the contents. So what does that tell you....the crust is definitely light. Your excuse for not making a pie is now blown away.
NO ROLL PIE SHELL (bottom shell only)
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. sugar
1 t. salt
1/2 c. oil
2. T. milk
Combine oil, & milk.Whip with a fork. Make a flour mixture of the dry ingredients. Pour the liquid in the center of the flour mixture and mix with a fork. (I do this in the pie pan...now I have lessoned the amount of dirty dishes.)
Press the dough to the sides, turning and shaping the top edge, then press remainder of the dough to the bottom.
To make enough for a two crust-double the recipe. Press onto paper to make a top crust.
