  • The ingredients are 1 cup &2 Tbls. flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/3 cup canola oil and 2 Tblsps. ice water . This is our family's favorite pie crust recipe! It can be used to make both sweet and savory recipes and is an absolute cinch to prepare! Let us know if you make it!! PRESS SHOW MORE FOR MORE INFO

    To Make a 2 crust pie
    Although it's not quite double the recipe because the top crust is a little smaller,it's easier to double the recipe and roll the extra for a little nibble.
    Make double the recipe in one bowl and divide in half to roll out.After rolling and placing the bottom crust(make sure there is an overhang of about an inch around)you can take about 1/4 off the ball to save for the nibble and roll the rest to the same thickness as the bottom.Place over your filled pie and pinch edges together.You want the bottom crust to extend a little bit beyond the upper crust and pinch towards the pie which will bring the bottom crust over the top edges to seal the filling in.Make slits with a knife or poke with a fork so that when the filling boils,the steam can escape Bake as your recipe directs..Then
    you can roll out the extra,sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake nest to your pie(but for a shorter time..Sounds way more complicated than it is .

But he sure does love making white dust all over for the dogs to make paw prints in. Makes him laugh so hard while grandma yells for grandpa to come Help me and turn Dragons movie on.

Im going to make butter tarts for my wonderful and kind son-in-law's birthday. It wasnt your recipe in particular that boosted my confidence it was you saying " its not perfectly round and its not going to be" and " we can fix that" when you patched in some dough on the lip of the crust.Youve got my back!

    This is the only pie crust I have ever made in 55 years of baking. The reason? It tastes good! For me, other crusts just don't have any flavor. Eating pie is all about the crust. Plus, it's so easy and fool proof. I never chill it before rolling. Makes a delish quiche crust, pot pies, etc. I used to roll out the scraps and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake for my daughter. Yum!

      @KFCalif Před 4 lety +2

      I came here from Reddit, the other day, based on a prompt by Paige.
      Nana Gloria -- I'm so surprised at how my pie crust turned out! I am not a frequent pie baker, mostly because I have a tiny kitchen with poor counter space. I make quiche quite often, not so much fruit pie, and I always grab a crust from the freezer. But you said by the time you open that box of frozen pie crust you could make this simple version -- and -- you had one other trick. I detest using my ONLY counter to dust with flour, it's so messy, and my dining room table is quite nice, so that's not a good surface for me. Dusting and rolling out in flour is a pain in the butt -- but you used wax paper and it was so neat and tidy.
      So today for lunch I made a bean and beef savory pie, and I used your crust. It's very good! The texture of the crust is unique -- it's almost like a cross between flaky and a very fine crumbed shortbread cookie. I think next time I'll add garlic salt when making something savory.
      But -- you were right. The crust was the LEAST labor intensive part of this savory pie entree, and I'll make your crust again and not waste 2 seconds worrying about it! The big test is making a fruit pie, however, because I so detest a soggy bottom crust from liquid fruit juice. Perhaps blind bake that one first, and then rebake with the filling?

      @2244ntho66 Před 4 lety +2

      @@KFCalif Blind baking will 'toughen" up the crust so it won't get soggy. I, too, was surprised about the oil, I have never used, just shortening or butter. And alternating with vodka and water for the moisture. Wax paper will help in getting the crust into the pan, I don't know how anyone does it any other way! But working the dough too much and not prepping the crust per the recipe will always be a disappointment. Good luck!

I always loved watching her cook and bake homemade receipes. Since she has gone home to be with the Lord, none of the children documented the receipes, we wish we had now. I remember some things, but having the actual ingredients are key. Thank God for these smart grandchildren who decided to film these wonderful keepsake receipes.

    This is a game changer for me! I have been using butter all my life and what a mess I have had with it! I tried this recipe with oil and it was so simple, I can't believe I have been doing it wrong all these years! And the hint about the wax paper is genius! No more flour mess everywhere! I knew there was a reason I had it in my kitchen supplies :) Thank you for creating this video and sharing to the world. No more Marie Calllendar's frozen shells for me!

    I'm here in 2019. and love your video. I cooked a lot when I was 18-19 yrs old. Forgot many recipes that were 2 hands full of this, one of that. Life took me other directions. and over the years, simple things. I never saw using 2 pieces of wax paper, and you won my heart. I'm 64 now, and have time to cook for me and my lovely bride of 12 years. Thank you so much. (She cooks, but is a little younger and still working. I like to surprise her 3-4 times a week).

    Thank you sooooo much.
    Oh, by the way, last night, I changed the 2 tablespoon to 1/2 cup, added just a little more oil, a tab bit more of water, and that took care of it sticking to the paper, and perfect size to fit the pan

    Even as easy as this recipe is, I found a way to goof it up. Went back to the roll up kind. Making a pie tonight and decided to try this recipe again. came out great, rolled it out, but it fell apart when I was putting it in the pie. That's ok, I said. Patched it into the pie pan. No one will ever know...it's in the oven now. Looks beautiful.

    Some of my favorite memories from childhood are the "Pie Baking" days with mom. I knew the moment the kitchen table was placed in the middle of the room and the extensions were in place that a few hours of dough fun were in the offing. I stood transfixed as her beautiful hands deftly mixed the flour, shortening and cold water. If sis was around at the same time we were both given the extra dough to turn into what we called " bumble bees" with cinnamon and sugar . A real treat! I have never learned to make pie dough like she did but I did find a recipe that even I can't mess up. Thanks to you for sharing your tips and to your grandkids for making you a real star...Now if I could only make noodles like Grandma Ellie did! Nana, YOU ROCK!!
