Okay, so I hate rolling pins and the mess it makes to get the plastic thing out, dust it with flour, try to get the edges to stay flat, rolling things...UGH. So, I tried this and though it wasn't EXACTLY a traditional pie crust, it was very flaky and pretty darn tasty. So...here it is. By they way, I used it for a chicken pot pie and used the leftover for a little strawberry tart - both yummy! This makes enough for a top, a bottom, and a little extra.
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup ice water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar (maybe a bit more for a dessert)
Mix together and press into pie pan as evenly as possible. Fill with filling and bake till golden. I did about 30 minutes at 350, but a little less time at 400 might be good if you're pre-baking it (like for a tart).... To make the top crust for the pot pie, I pressed it onto a silicone mat (waxed paper would work too) and then flipped it onto the top of the pie and it seemed to work okay. Enjoy!
