Pat-in-Pan Pie Crust

This is truly one the fastest easiest pie crust recipes. No need for cold butter or what-nots just mix with a fork, pat, par bake and you are done! I love a rich yet flaky crust and this does the trick every time. I'm posting it because I have no clue where on the net I found it. And, I love it so much I never want to loose it and felt compelled to share. Especially since I haven't been posting much lately. Here's the recipe:

Pat in a Pan Pie Crust:

Recipe courtesy Joe Ray

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

* 1/2 cup oil

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 2 tablespoons sugar

* 2 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a 9-inch pie pan, combine all ingredients and mix with a fork. After mixing well, use your hand to form a ball in the pan and then press into pan. Bring it up on the sides and pinch the top. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 1 pie crust

I par bake the crust for 9-10 minutes, let it cool and then drop in my premixed quiche mixture. The one below is potato, mushroom, cheese and sun-dried tomatos with the southwest flavored Ready Egg mixture. This is right when it went into the oven.
