I made a quiche today and of course needed to make a pie crust. This recipe came from my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, which is pretty much my go-to cookbook when I need simple and straight forward advice. They call it Easy Oil Pastry. I'll just call it Easiest Pie Crust Ever! I did modify it a little by using some whole wheat flour. I also used all organic ingredients. This took me all of 5 minutes to prepare.
Easiest Pie Crust Ever
1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (if you don't have whole wheat flour add an extra 1/4 cup all-purpose flour)
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbs sugar (I used organic turbinado sugar)
1/4 cup cooking oil (I used organic olive oil)
3 Tbs milk
In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Add oil and milk all at once to flour mixture. Stir lightly with a fork (or use pastry cutter). Form into a ball. Press dough firmly onto bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Fill and bake as directed.
