2 cups sifted flour
1 ½ tsp salt
½ cup oil
¼ cup cold whole milk
1Mix together flour and salt.
2Pour oil and milk into a measuring cup, but don't stir them together.
3Pour measuring cup of oil/milk into flour all at once. Stir until mixed. Press with hands into a smooth ball. Cut halves, flatten halves slightly.
4Place one half between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Roll out gently until the circle reaches the edge of the paper. Peel off top paper. If pastry rips, push back together with fingers.
5Lift paper and pastry by top corners; they will cling together. Place, paper side up, in a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully peel off paper.
Repeat with the second half and place on top over the filling.
Yield: 2 crusts or 1 double-crust pie
