1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of oil ( I use canola oil )
3 Tablespoons of milk ( I use 1/2 & 1/2 )
This is a very flakey crust and taste like the old fashion lard crust that Grandma used to make.
Hope some of you try this and let me know how it turned out.
Everyone that tastes it can't believe it was that easy.
I have used this recipe for over 40 years and have never had a failure. I make sure to prick the bottom and I sometimes add about 1 tablespoon of sugar. Helps to brown it.
