EASY No-Roll Pie Crust

Despite the lasting influence it has had on food in such far-away places as Macau and Goa, Portuguese cuisine is hugely underrepresented outside Portugal. Often confused with Spanish cooking, .....
EASY No-Roll Pie Crust
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2/3 cup cooking oil (I like to use Canola oil)
- 1/3 cup water or milk
Measure all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir with a fork. Pat into pie pan with fingers or use the back of a spoon. Use with your favorite pie recipes.
This recipe will make enough for:
- 3 eight-inch one-crust pies (or)
- 2 eight-inch two-crust pies (or)
- 2 ten-inch one-crust pies (or)
- 1 ten-inch two-crust pie with a generous crumble crust.
To make the crumble crust, use half of the mixture for the bottom crust and then add 1/4 cup brown sugar to the remainder and sprinkle on top of your pie filling.
For a baked pie shell, bake the crust at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until light brown.
