Louise Piper's Pie Shell

Print Save Recipe

1 PIE SHELL

Any cooked filling may be added to this pie shell. Louise Piper uses it for her Butterscotch Pie Supreme.

1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tbsp. cold milk

1. Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour oil into a measuring cup, and add milk. Do not stir.

2. Add liquids to dry ingredients and mix with a fork until dough forms a ball (you may need 1–2 tsp. more oil). Roll out dough between two sheets of wax paper to form a 12'' disk.

3. Place pastry in a 9'' pie plate, form a decorative edge, and prick base and sides all over with a fork. Bake until light golden, 12–15 minutes.

This has got to be the easiest pie crust recipe ever! Recipe didn't mention baking temperature. I did 475, with foil lining for 10 min. then remove foil for 2 more min. I filled with fresh strawberries and glaze.
