In a bowl mix flour and salt!. with your fingertips or a pastry cutter, cut the fat into the flour until its about the size of small peas!. add cold water and form a ball!. Rest in fridge 15-30 min, roll out!.


This will make 1 single crust pie (bottom only)!.!. for a double crust, double everything and split in two, roll out seperately!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

QUICK PIE CRUST

Double Crust

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup oil
3/8-cup cold milk (6 Tablespoons)
1 1/2 tsp salt

Single Crust

1 3/8 cups all-purpose flour
3/8 cups oil (6 Tablespoons)
3 Tablespoons cold milk
3/4 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients with a fork or spoon until the mixture becomes
thick and forms a ball!. Divide in half for a double crust!. Pat
into a thick pancake shape!. Sprinkle some water on a board and
place a piece of wax paper large enough for the pie crust on the
board!. (The sprinkle of water keeps the wax paper from slipping!.)
Place the dough in the center of the wax paper and then place a
second piece of wax paper over the dough!. Roll the dough into a
circle large enough for the pie pan!. Without removing the wax
paper, drape, centering, the dough over the rolling pin!. Carefully
peel off the top piece of wax paper!. Carefully place (roll) the
dough into the pie pan, centering it (exposed dough side is down,
wax paper side is up)!. The dough is fragile so be careful!. Shape
the dough to the pan!. Carefully remove the remaining wax paper!.
If the dough is torn, simply press it together with your fingers!.

If making a top crust, repeat the process with the second piece of
dough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Stir or blend together with your hands!.
Press into the pie plate or other pan!.
To pre-bake the pie crust, bake for 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F!. oven!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you truly want a QUICK pie crust, then head to the grocery store and look in the refrigerated foods section!. There are several brands of refrigerated crusts!. All you have to do is put the crust in the pie pan!. Since two crusts come to a package, for a blueberry pie, I would make a lattice top out of the second one!. And once it is placed on the pie, brush it with a little milk and sprinkle with a bit of sugar!. The crust won't be quite as good as homemade, but the brand I buy (Wegman's) is every bit as good a homemade and a lot easier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter!.
Put it in your pie pan thingy mash it down so that it takes on the pans shape and you're ready to go, just add the filling and bake=)Www@FoodAQ@Com

My quickie crust usually involves unrolling a Pillsbury refrigerated crust or using a frozen one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
