Mom's Pat-A-Pie Pie Crust

"Original recipe by Esther Gilbertson, I believe. A quick and easy way to make a pie crust, or as it was originally called "oil pastry" with no fuss but excellent results. When recipe calls for salad oil, I took this to mean anything you'd use on a salad and put in half canola half organic olive oil."

  1. I did not care for this recipe. Flavor was good and it was very easy to make and handle, but after baking could touch crust without it falling all to pieces.
