CRUST:
1-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
½ t. salt
½ c. vegetable oil (I use corn oil)
2 T. water
METHOD: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. In a glass measuring cup add oil and water. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined. (Do not over mix as this would develop the gluten in the flour too much and cause a tough crust.) With freshly washed hands, gently form dough into a ball. Put ball of dough into middle of 9-inch pie plate. Use fingers to spread dough toward sides of pan. Push dough evenly up to top of sides of pan so that there is enough dough to make a crimped edge. Crimp top edges of crust. Use a table fork and prick holes in bottom and sides of crust. This will keep crust from puffing up too much while baking. Bake for 10-15 min. or until crust is just starting to turn light brown. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Makes crust for one single-crust pie.
