Easy Homemade Pie Crust
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.
