PRESS IN PIE CRUST 
1 3/4 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar

Mix together. 2 tbsp. cream or Carnation milk

Mix together. Pour oil mixture into flour mixture. Flake with a fork until well mixed. Will be kind of crumbly. Take 2/3 of the dough and put it into a pie tin. Reserve the 1/3 for pie topping.

Take the back of a spoon and press the dough around the sides and bottom of the tin. Place ingredients for a baked pie into the pressed in crust. Take the 1/3 reserved crust and make into a flattened round piece with your hands. Place between 2 pieces of wax paper. Roll thin with the rolling pin. You will have to remove the paper off occasionally to make it smooth. Roll to pie crust thickness. Remove top wax paper by kind of rolling the paper off as it may stick some. If it does, take a knife and loosen wax paper - if crust breaks, no harm done.

Take the bottom wax paper and crust laying it over the pie. Roll the wax paper off. If it breaks at all - no harm done - as it bakes it melts together. Stick a few holes in the top to let out steam. Brush some cream over the crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. This makes a brown crust. For a lemon pie make just a bottom crust sticking just a few holes in it before baking, when done, cool, fill with filling.
