Pat in Pan Pie Crust

Everyone can make a pie crust with this recipe. I found this in an Amish cookbook. Try it, homemade is always better.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 1 8-9 inch pie

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 3  tablespoons flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup  vegetable oil
• 3  tablespoons  cold milk

Directions

1. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the pie pan and mix with your fingers until blended.
2. In a measuring cup, combine the oil and milk and beat with a fork until creamy.
3. Pour all at once over flour mixture.
4. Mix with a fork until the flour mixture is completely moistened.
5. Pat the dough with your fingers, first up the sides of the plate, then across the bottom.
6. Flute the edges.
7. Shell is now ready to be filled.
8. If you are preparing a shell to fill later, or your recipe requires a prebaked crust, preheat the oven to 425.
9. Prick the pastry with a fork and bake 15 minute.
