I have made this many times now and shared it many more. To simplify even more, I heat the water and oil in a saucepan, remove from heat and add self-rising flour, stirring until it makes a ball (less than a minute.) I divide in half and make 2 bottom crusts by pressing into pie plates. NO ROLLING! Tastes the same---delicious. I am so glad I found this recipe. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is my Mom's pie crust recipe too! I grew up eating and making this, and to this day if I need a quick pie crust for a chicken pot pie OR a dessert this is my old standby. I love it because I don't have to roll anything out. My Mom uses 1 1/2 c flour and 1/2 tsp of salt and stirs it in the pie plate. Then she uses a glass measuring cup and adds 1/3 c oil and enough water to make 1/2 c total and pours it into the pie plate.

It was a little crumbly so I added some more water until it started molding together. Overall the recipe was great and I use it every time!

Absolute PERFECTION! Was out of butter and gave this a shot. I'm SOLD. This crust turns out so flaky and delicious and is so crazy-easy. I will only use this recipe from now on. Hands down the best and easiest pie crust I ever made.
