Pat a Pie Crust (dairy)
for one 9-inch pie dish

I found this recipe in an old Hadassah cook book. No need to roll out as ingredients are mixed in the pie dish and patted into place. It works.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
pinch salt
2 tablespoons cold milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Place the flour, sugar and salt in an ungreased pie dish. Stir to mix. Make a well in center and add the milk and oil. With your hands, work the flour mixture into the wet ingredients to make a smooth ball. Pat into place over the bottom and sides of dish.

Prick bottom and sides all over with a fork. Bake at 400F for 12-15 minutes until golden. Use as needed.
