How to Make Aunt Jennie's Pie Crust With Oil

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1/2 cup milk.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients (oil and milk mixture) to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough in half.
  6. Place one half of the dough between two sheets of lightly floured parchment paper.
  7. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness (approximately 1/8 inch). Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 with the remaining dough.
  9. Add your favorite fruit pie filling (approximately 4 cups).
  10. Top with the second pie crust. Trim and crimp the edges.
  11. Brush the top crust with a little milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  12. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  13. Cover the edges of the pie crust with foil to prevent burning.
  14. Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  15. Remove the foil and reduce oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  16. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
