Easy Homemade Pie Crust

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Desserts

 Ingredients List

  • 3 c. flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. butter, softened slightly
  • 3 tbsp. milk
  • 3 tbsp. cold water
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil

 Directions

1. Combine flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. (I use a pastry blender, but two forks might work okay too.)

2. Combine milk, water, and oil, then sprinkle in, tossing with a fork until mixture is moistened. Do not over-mix.

3. Divide into 3 pieces; form into balls.

4. Roll out crust on lightly floured counter and use as desired.

5. If you need to use this in a recipe that needs the crust baked first, prick the sides and bottom of the crust several times with a fork (helps prevent shrinkage) and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10-12 minutes.

Tip: If your crust does happen to tear a bit, simply push the dough together, dampen your finger with water a bit and “seal” it. It should hold without any problem.
