May 2, 2008, Newsletter Issue #224: Oil Pastry

Tip of the Week

Competing giants Pillsbury and General Mills came up with this pie crust method at about the same time. Use the waxed paper method of rolling for this pastry.

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup plain oil (peanut, safflower, NOT olive)
1/4 cup cold whole milk


Mix flour and salt together. Add the oil and milk all at once and stir lightly until a dough forms. Use in any recipe calling for a two-crust pie.
