    Source of Recipe

    unknonwn
    #1. One 9-inch Single Crust
    Preheat oven to 425°
    Sift, then measure:
    1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    Resift it into a bowl with:
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    With a pastry blender, work in:
    1/2 cup 70° shortening until the grain in the mixture is pea size.
    Stir in, 1 tablespoon at a time:
    3 tablespoons water until the mixture holds together when you gather it into a ball. Pat it evenly into the pie pan. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool before filling.
    #2. Two 9-inch Pie Shells or 8 Tarts
    Preheat oven to 425°
    Sift into a pie pan:
    2 cups silfted all-purpose flour
    1-1/4 teaspoons salt
    Mix in a cup until creamy:
    2/3 cup cooking oil
    3 tablespoons cold milk
    Pour the mixture over the flour all at once. Stir these ingredients lightly with a fork until blended. Form into a crust, right in the pan, by patting out the dough with your fingers. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool before filling.
    The oil gives this dough a somewhat mealy texture, rather than flaky.
