No-Roll Pie Crust/Oil Pie Crust

By MJH

One full-size 9" pie pan

Ingredients

• 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• Heaping 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 7 tablespoons (1/2 cup less 1 tablespoon) oil: canola, vegetable, olive, peanut, your choice
• 1/4 cup cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Whisk together the oil and water, then pour over the dry ingredients.
Stir with a fork until the dough is evenly moistened.
Pat the dough across the bottom of the pie pan and up the sides. A flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass helps smooth the bottom.
Crimp the edge, or flatten with the tines of a fork.
Fill the crust as desired, and bake.
