How to Make Oatmeal Pie Shell
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon dried herbs of your choice (optional).
- Cut in ½ cup cold vegetable shortening and ¼ cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3 teaspoons ice water, mixing with a fork until the dough just begins to come together.
- Add more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a couple of times until it just holds its shape. Be careful not to overwork it.
- Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness. If the dough cracks, simply patch it together and gently press to repair.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- For a partially baked crust, bake for 20-25 minutes. For a fully baked crust, bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
