EASY NO FAIL PIE CRUST 
So easy and delicious!

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Measure flour and salt. Add milk and oil. Stir only until dry ingredients are blended in. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion between 2 pieces of wax paper. Remove top layer of wax paper and transfer crust into pie plate with bottom wax paper still intact and on top. Remove wax paper from crust and shape edges as desired. Repeat with second portion of recipe.

Note: I like to chill my completed pie shell in freezer 1 to 2 hours before baking for extra crispness of a 1 crust pie.

Yield: 1 double pie or 2 single pie shells.

Easy No Fail Pie Crust

 Cathy (Tennessee) says:
Wow.. I could never make a pie crust before. Now I can. I did not even roll it! I put it between two pieces of parchment paper, and smoothed it by hand. It even went into a round shape for me! I am going to make another one to freeze. Thanks for a great recipe. I used up my buttermilk too!

Your easy no fail pie crust was the bomb, right on target, really flaky and lite! I made a chicken pot pie with it family loved it! Thanks a bunch!

Very good recipe; however this one is only good for ONE pie shell NOT two. I found that out the hard way! But still, a very good recipe.

Excellent recipe! I used a little less oil and used yogurt instead of buttermilk, turned out perfect!

This recipe is lovely and so easy. It really is no fail. Instead of vegetable oil I used olive oil and it worked very nicely. I also soured some milk instead of using the buttermilk. To sour milk, take 1 cup milk minus a tablespoon. Then add one tablespoon of lemon juice to the milk. This will give you exactly one cup of liquid.

This is a great recipe, better or just as good as if you were to make crust the hard way. I subsitute the buttermilk for plain yogurt and it turns out wonderfully!

I have never had much success with other pie crust recipes but I decided to give this a try & I substituted powdered non fat milk with cold water in place of the buttermilk & it came out very well. I think this a great recipe.

I made this for an after-Christmas pumpkin pie and since I was out of milk but had some soon-to-expire eggnog, I used that in place of the buttermilk. I also reduced the oil by 1/6 of a cup because of the other comment and added 1/4 tsp. sugar and this crust came out great!! I chilled in the fridge for about half an hour and it cooked up flaky and sooo good, I almost want to keep this recipe a secret. Thanks!!

This was a total fail for me. The oil was too much and soaked any flour that touched it. Broke apart far too easily.

At the name of this recipe implies... absolutely no fail. I did not have buttermilk on hand and I used plain yogurt as a substitute... perfect and delicious! It doesn't get any easier than this.
