The real recipe I want to share with you is the Lazy Gal's Pie Crust. You can use any pie recipe for the filling. Yesterday, I made chocolate pie. When that is gone, I will make banana cream pie. Yum! Lazy Gal's Pie crust is a recipe that my grandmother Edyth shared with me a long time ago. Whenever she would have left-over crust, she would put it in the oven with some cinnamon and sugar on it. That was an extra treat! My grandmother loved to bake, and we loved to eat what she baked. Cooking was my grandmother's hobby. The great thing about this pie crust is that you can make it in the pie plate. I think that is why it is called Lazy Gal's Pie Crust. There is no clean up! This is a no fail recipe.
First put 1 and 1/2 cups of flour in your pie plate. Make a basin. Sprinkle 1 tsp. of salt over the flour.
Put 1/4 cup of water in the microwave until it comes to a boil. Quickly add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and then pour into the basin.
Mix with a fork until moist. Then use your hands to cover the pie plate with the crust. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Cook in a 350 degree oven for 15 min. Then add your favorite pie filling. Leave uncovered until it cools. Eat it warm or refrigerate. Enjoy! The crust is very flaky and light. The salt adds a nice taste to offset the sweetness of the pie!
