How to Make Dad's Mazola No Roll Pie Pastry Shell

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Sift 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour into a 9-inch pie plate.
In a measuring cup, whisk together ¼ cup Mazola oil and ¼ cup milk.
Pour the wet ingredients all at once over the flour mixture.
Using a fork, mix until the flour is just dampened. Do not overmix.
Press the dough evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate, extending slightly beyond the rim.
Ensure the dough is pressed to a uniform thickness.
Gently pinch the edges of the crust to create a slightly rustic edge (avoid a high fluted edge).
For a baked shell: Prick the entire surface of the crust with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
For an unbaked shell: Proceed directly to filling and baking. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake until the filling is set (see your pie filling recipe for specific instructions).
Cool completely before filling.
