MAKES: 1 (9-inch) pie crust

PREP: 10 Min

Get ready to celebrate Pi Day with an easy pie crust that both math-lovers and bakers can get behind. There's no rolling pin required for our easy-as-pie No-Roll Pie Crust, and that's just the start of what makes it so special. What you put in it is the finishing touch, so let's get baking!

What You'll Need

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons cold milk

What to Do

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a 9-inch pie plate, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
In a 1-cup measuring cup, whisk together oil and milk and pour over flour mixture.
Using a fork, mix until dough forms. Press dough evenly over bottom and up sides of pie plate; flute edges.
To use as a baked shell: prick the dough all over with a fork and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until set, then cool and fill as desired.
To use as an unbaked shell: fill with the desired pie filling and bake according to the pie filling directions.

I didn't expect this would turn out very well since it was so easy but to my surprise it was far better than any traditional crusts I've attempted in the past. This is a definite keeper from now on. Would highly recommend to family and friends. I might add mine turned out looking better than the photo on the recipe. I used aluminum foil around the edges and it came out golden brown and beautiful.

Only one star for me. This pie crust is wayyy too salty. Texture and ease of making was o.k. but this ruined my lemon meringue pie. Salt and sweet lemon filling, yuk!

If you have arthritic hands, recommend getting out the rolling pin.

MY PIE CRUST DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE PIC. NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE NICE EDGES, KIND OF FLAKES APART. HAVEN'T TASTED IT YET, BUT WILL TRY ANOTHER RECIPE THE ONE THE OHIO COOK GAVE US.

I question how this method of making a pie crust could be used for the traditional pot pie as mentioned in the "notes".

Thank you "Mr. Food & his team! I've used this, loved it, and will use it again! I have a recipe that makes a double crust, so thought I'd share that with my 'fellow bakers.' (Oil Pastery) .......... 3 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup water. *Mix flour & salt in large bowl. Add oil and water; mix lightly with fork, (I use my electric mixer). Shape into 2 balls; flatten slightly. *Roll each portion into circle between sheets of waxed paper. Fit into pie plates; fill and bake as desired. *May store unbaked pastry in freezer for 2 months. This has served me well over the years and hope you enjoy it too. Sincerely, "littel ole' Ohio cook," Sherry

This sounds simple enough, I just may try this pie crust....I hate rolling out pie crust, I hate the mess it leaves with all the flour on the counter.....

A dear friend gave me this years ago and it all I use! It melts in your mouth. If you want a top crust double the ingredients and after pressing the bottom crust into pie pan and adding your filling crumble the remaining over the top. I also add crumbly top like what is used on Dutch apple pie.

I have not seen this recipe in 40 years. It is so great, and so easy to use. My mother gave it to me. Thanks for bring it back to me.

Just wondering if anyone has used this recipe and if you could use SELF-RISING FLOUR instead of plain flour,as self-rising is already mixed so you don't need to add anything else to the flour.....and could you use shortening (like CRISCO ) instead of veg. oil, as the shortening makes a more tender and flaky crust ?

I've been looking for this recipe for a long time. It's similar to one my mother used except she used water instead of milk, no sugar, and rolled it out. Thanks.
