This is a wonderful pie crust recipe from my friend, Susan. She's an expert pie baker and this is her standard crust. Most crust recipes use shortening or lard, and we all know that eating too much of that stuff isn't good. The beauty of this recipe is that it uses oil instead, a healthier alternative to lard!
This makes enough for a one-crust pie. Double it if you need a top crust.
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup oil (any type)
3 Tbsp. cold water
Mix flour, powdered sugar, and salt together and make a well in the center. Pour liquids into well and stir thoroughly with a fork. Place in pie pan and pat in place with a spatula or your fingers. If you need a top crust, roll out between 2 sheets of wax paper. Before baking you can sprinkle with sugar. It browns nicely!
