Linda demonstrates how to make this simple and quick pie crust that never fails – so easy a child can do it, so quick you could have pie every night. Works for savory or sweet pies, one or two crusts.

Winter Family Easy Never-fail Pie Crust 8-9 inch two crust pie

1) In large bowl mix 2 cups all-purpose flour less 2 T. and 3/4 tsp salt
2) In glass measuring cup measure 1/2 cup oil (plus 1 T)
3) Add (measured separately) 1/4 cup milk, mix well with fork
4) Pour liquids all at once into bowl with flour and salt. Stir with fork until blended and pastry cleans side of bowl. (If pastry seems dry, 1-2 Tablespoons of oil can be added.)
5) Gather pastry into a ball and divide roughly into halves.
Roll halves into ball and flatten slightly. Place flattened round between two 15-inch lengths of waxed paper. Roll pastry 2 inches larger than inverted pie plate (you can turn paper with pastry and flip over to enable you to roll it out into a nice circle). Peel off top paper and replace. Flip over and peel off what was the bottom but is now the top paper. Place paper side up in pie plate. Peel off paper. Ease pastry loosely into plate

    How to do prebake this kind of crust? Is it the same as other pie crusts?

    WOW! Finally I made a pie crust that taste great and didn’t have to spend
    a lot of time! I pre-baked my apples in the convection oven. While those
    were baking, I made the Winter Family Crust. Then put it all together and
    put the pie back in the convection oven for 15 minutes and DONE! THANK
    YOU!

    Hi Linda… I’m your viewer from Malaysia. My chicken pie with your crust
    recipe is in the oven right now. I was frustrated after failed to make the
    crust by using butter,ice water etc. My dough was cracked. So I went to
    Youtube right away. Thanks for sharing this recipe. We don’t have to rest
    the dough in the fridge for a few hours, we just need to roll instantly.
    Amazing. I hope my chicken pie will taste good with your crust recipe
