Wesson Oil Stir and Roll Pie Pastry (single and double crust)
Stir-N-Roll Single Crust Recipe
Preheat oven to 475-F, a very hot oven. Sift flour before measuring.
Use level measurements for all ingredients.
Measure into a mixing bowl –
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Add all at once –
3/8 cup (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) Wesson Oil
3 tablespoons milk
Stir with fork until pastry clings together.
Press into a ball, flatten slightly, and place between 2 sheets of waxed paper (12-inch squares).
Roll out gently until circle reaches edges of paper (if bottom paper wrinkles, turn over, straighten and continue rolling).
Peel off top paper, then pick up pastry and bottom paper by one edge (they will cling together).
Place, paper-side up, over 8 or 9 inch pie pan. Then loosen pastry at edges and carefully peel off paper.
Ease pastry snugly into place. Finish edge as desired and prick bottom and side thoroughly with table
fork.
Bake on lower rack in pre-heated oven 8 - 10 minutes, until golden brown.
