- I share how I make my mother's easy recipe for oil and milk pie crust. No solid shortening, no cutting in lard or butter. Quick, delicious, flakey and forgiving! Be sure to see the PINNED comment with TIPS for more details.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt (your preference)
1 TBSP sugar (optional for sweet pies)
1/2 cup veg oil (or oil of choice)
1/4 cup milk (I used 2% but any kind okay)*
Once mixed, the dough should be moist. If there is still flour at the bottom of the bowl or the pieces are dry and not blending well, add a bit more milk, 1 TBSP at a time until all the flour is picked up and your dough is moist (not wet!).
*You can substitue other liquids for the milk, almond milk, water, etc,
PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO!
As with bread recipes, humidity and type/brand of flour can make a difference in results, so if it seems a little dry, add a bit more of the milk/oil mixture (tsp/Tbsp) until the consistency rolls out beautifully.

87 years old made many pie crust . This is the best , easiest, most delicious pie crust I’ve ever made . Kudos !
Wow, Barbara! Thanks so much for the high praise. I just happen to agree with you! Feel free to share the video with your friends. They'll thank you for it!
Wow .Before your video, I could never make good pastry. I used all sorts of butter, lard, shortening etc. I had given up. And, I hardly ever have those things in my pantry , due to allergy. Then I tried your pastry recipe, and it came out perfect. Ty Gramma
Hooray! You're so walcome! Please share the video and recipe -- others will thank you!
This was my Nana's recipe. Delicious. I've never seen anyone else use these ingredients.
It has been many years… so glad I found this site, this is my Mom’s recipe I had forgotten. Thank you!
Hi Ruth! You are so welcome! I'm so glad I could help you use Mom's recipe again. I just made an apple pie Friday night and we TOTALLY enjoyed it. I love the way that crust absorbs the apple syrupy goodness without getting gummy. YUM! Thanks for visiting. Please subscribe and watch for my other videos.
I cannot wait to try this recipe out! My daughter is allergic to dairy and nuts, so excited to find a recipe that doesn't require butter! I'll substitute with our dairy free milk of choice. My daughter might be able to eat apple pie for the first time! 😍
Enjoy
Good Morning , wow I love your recipe idea! Thanks for sharing!!
TIPS/BAKING INFO: Measure carefully. I like to fluff my flour in its container first so it’s not packed down, then scoop, and then level off scoop with edge of butter knife.
As with other flour recipes you may need to adjust flour quantity depending on type/brand of four, humidity, etc., or if the bottom of the bowl seems a little dry, add 1 tbsp of milk or water at a time until dough holds together well and picks up crumbs.
For sweet pies, I also add 1 Tbsp SUGAR to the flour mix.
For savory pies, you can a touch of herbs to the mix, if desired.
Preheat oven to 425, once pie is in, reduce heat to 400 and bake until edges are golden brown and center is light golden brown, about 45-50 minutes.
I rarely prebake or "blind bake" my crusts, but if you choose to do so, line with double foil (hanging over edges), add weights of choice, and bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes. Then raise temp to 425, add desired filling and bake approximately 20 minutes longer until edges are desired shade of light brown.
I've used the silicone mat here, but use two pieces of wax paper, upper and lower, on top of the mat or just on table, it's easier.
If you don't want to roll the crust out, you can actually just PAT it into the pie pan.
BanDana Gramma could I use melted shortening?
@@katiecauthen8957 Hi Katie! I've never tried melted shortening, but I don't see why not. Let me know how it turns out! My concern would be how warm it would be. Chilled ingredients make better crusts.
You are right Gramma... Two weeks ago when it was colder, no problem. Now there is humidity in the air
and I needed to add a lot more oil and milk! I put together a double batch, and now I'm letting it cool in the fridge.
Got to have those Cinnamon rolls!
Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate that 😀 nice to get advice from an expert ☺️ I am not great…. Trying to get better. Thanks again. Have a great day 😃
@@momzilla9491 for pie dough? Or bread dough you mean
Glenn, I made the crust as directed, spread it with brown sugar and cinnamon, rolled it, brushed some butter on, and baked it.
So awesome. You can't fail with this 151 proof recipe!
I found this video today because I was looking for an easy pot pie crust recipe. This was sooo easy to make! I was afraid it wouldn't peel off the wax paper but it came right off! Thank you for sharing your recipe. It's awesome!
You are so welcome! I'm so happy you found it. Please share the video with your friends, they will thank you! Blessings from BanDana Gramma
I am watching this from Bangalore, India. Pies are a relatively new cuisine here and I have learnt general baking quite painstakingly. But looking at the videos showing how to make pie crusts “oh so perfectly” with such complicated skills had not given me the confidence to try them.
Your method is so honest and makes it look so easy, that I have decided to try this method.
Thank you very much for this video.
You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy the outcome of your efforts. If you do, please share the video and bless your friends with it! Thanks so much for visiting!
Thank you again. I tried the recipe today for a Corned Beef and Potato Pie.... the crust was perfect and easy to make. I highly recommend it!!
Wonderful! Thank you so much Linda for getting back to me. I hope you will share the video with your friends on social media. They will THANK YOU especially with the holiday season coming up. It's a winner!
I used this recipe last night to make a Cinnamon Roll. It was beautiful and tasted great! Love this that bandages well! 2 Thumbs Up! Almost no mess! Thanks again dear lady.
Thank you Momzilla! Now please SHARE the video! So glad you liked it!
@@BanDanaGramma Video? That's laughable. Although my 1990 MiniCam still works perfectly, there is no way to attach it to my computer to upload! I don't use a smart phone either so I'm just a commentator for now.
@@momzilla9491 Understood. I thought you could just hit the share button above. Enjoy the pie crust!
@@momzilla9491 I believe the content creator is requesting that you share her video with friends/family who would then be able to try the recipe for themselves and become familiar with her content.
PS - your cinnamon rolls idea sounds fantastic!
I'm going to try this. You make it look so easy.
Hi Sally! Be DARING! You can do it! Lol. Sometimes it needs a little extra liquid (water is fine) if the bottom of bowl seems very dry and all the flour is not mixed in (depends on humidity, type of flour, etc), but you only need to add a tiny bit at a time until all the flour mixes in when stirred. I hope you try it and love it!
Oh my gosh the your intro made me want to cry!! Suburban homesteading, faith and family, and the photos of your husband and yourself!!! That's all I could ask for for my life, I hope I grow into it!! Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe, I'm making pumpkin pie today 🎃🧡

This looks so easy I will try this I never cold make it always got ready made thanks for sharing .
I've never made this kind before....plus, it makes it even more special since it was passed down from your mom. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad I saw this video! I'm going try it. It seems so easy! Thanks!
It IS easy and you can do it! I've had a lot of happy subscribers try it and love it! Thanks for watching!
Perfect
This really was a good solution to my last minute Baking for Thanksgiving.
Glad it was helpful, Vicki. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
I'm on the quest for the ultimate/easiest pie crust ever. Angela of Simply Mama Cooks made a Buttermilk Pie. Her crust recipe comes from an old Crisco recipe just slightly different. She presses the dough right into the pie dish which I like...I don't have the patience to roll out pie crust. But I never buy Crisco. I've seen other oil based pie crust youtube bakers and they also roll the dough but they don't use milk. So, I'll use this recipe, but I'm going to press it into the pie dish. Thank you so much this actually helps a lot.
God Bless.
I think you're going to love it! Thanks for watching. You shoujld be able to push it into the pie dish just fine.
I'm going to try this right now, going to make a quiche, but this should work just as well, can't wait! I like how you explained as you went and I especially appreciate adding the recipe to the description!
Hope you enjoy, be sure to review the TIPS, and thank you for watching!
Been looking for such a pastry for a long time... tried it and all the family loved it... thanks dear grandma for sharing so much. Pie bye!

Looks like I'm going to try it. Sometimes I don't have butter and craving for a pie 😋💗 Thanks a lot
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for your video, it looks easy and perfect so I wil try again at making pies as I always have to piece in sections of dough that stuck to the pin or wax paper.
Thank you, Rocky! You can do it! I've had a lot of happy bakers try this recipe. It's a keeper! With love from BanDana Gramma
We were just at my in-laws' and the girl who helps around their property mentioned she makes a lot of pies. I told I hardly ever do because my crusts never turn out well except one that uses a TON of butter. She told me so quickly, "Oh, I just use two cups of flour, 1/2 c of oil, 1/4 c of milk, and a pinch of salt." I was shocked that the recipe was so simple and easy to remember, and I used it to make a blueberry cream cheese pie this weekend for my hubby for Father's Day. It was his mom's recipe, and his absolutely favorite dessert, but I have always avoided making it often because of the challenge of the crust. The pie itself is quite rich with the cream cheese layer without a super rich, buttery crust. It blessed his socks off to have his mother's pie! She passed away a little over a year ago. Anyway, I was happy with how it turned out, but thought the crust was a little bland. Using a teaspoon of salt as you suggested, rather than a "pinch" like she suggested, makes sense! I'll use the teaspoon next time, and I'm sure this will be THE recipe for pies for me! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the feedback and your story, Lea. I use a little sugar for sweet pies too, but not for savory dishes like chicken pot pie. Now you can make pies all the time!
@@BanDanaGramma Okay! Do you add the sugar right in, or sprinkled on the top crust such as on apple pie? How much of it goes in the crust? Thanks for helping a crust newbie! 😄
P.S. I am not a youtuber, just a lazy cook who likes good food. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing. I will try with heavy cream instead of water and olive oil
Hope you enjoy
I made your pie crust 4 times then decided to add another tablespoon of oil....it made it even easier and baked delicious like yours but even easier to handle & move ...Love to you & yours...Judy
Great! All recipes for pie crust may need to be adjusted for the brand of flour, the humidity, etc. Tweeking it a bit to suit your needs is the right thing to do!
Hi! Thank you! I made chicken pie today and used your recipe! The best!!! I stopped making pie because it was so much work and mess, and because it used up too much butter turning it too expensive. I will be making more pies now! I loved how light & flaky it turned out! Quick too 💕
Yay! So glad you like this easy crust! Thank you so much for coming back and leaving a comment. Now that you know how good it is, please share the video with your friends, it really helps my channel, and your friends will THANK YOU!
@@BanDanaGramma I shared it on my Facebook! ❤

Welcome Wilma! How kind of you to leave me a sweet message. Blessings on you and yours for safety and happiness. With Love From BanDana Gramma ❤ PS, If you like this video, please share it! It really helps my channel and encourages me to keep going.
Thanks! I am definitely trying this soon!
Thanks for posting this! Ive not seen a pie crust recipe w/milk, so I’m excited to try it. Saving time on cutting in the butter would be fab. U. Lous! BTW, coconut oil at room temperature delivers a superb and flaky crust while reducing the cutting in time. Instead of a 1:1 replacement for butter, I cut back the coconut oil by about 20 percent. That said, it isn’t as fast as your recipe.
Thank you! I will now follow your recipe, cheap and effective
You are welcome 😊 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. That always encourages me to keep going with the videos. 😀
Definitely going to try this. Thanks so much!

What a beautiful n happy families. Msy God blessed you
Thanks for sharing this! I had never heard of an “Oil Crust”, but needed a crust for my quiche. I omitted the sugar and added thyme and black pepper. This was the most awesome quiche crust ever. It was very tasty and flaky, definitely perfect for savory applications. Thanks again for sharing!
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LET ME KNOW! With Love From BanDana Gramma
Looks good x
Love your blue pie plate. My Grandmother's crust uses crisco and vinager and has always been a family favorite. Even one of my uncles had her teach him when she went blind. I'll give yours a try next time I'm always ready to try something new.
I made this yesterday! It turned out amazing. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!!!
Thank you so much for letting me know, Anastasia! I really appreciate your comment. Now, please share the video with your friends, they will Thank you!

Will try for Thanksgiving.
We all love it, and it's so easy. Be sure to read "tips" pinned to top of comments. Happy Thanksgiving Penny!
thank you for this recipe!
Hi JuJu! You are SO very welcome! Enjoy!
That was easy enough ...my sister made an oil recipe for years... I do have that Tupperware pie thingy some where... bought it years ago... Hope I can find it.. Just found your video and did subscribe and liked and rung bell..
I have been making this exact recipe for nearly 60 years and have never had a bad crust. The only thing I do differently is after mixing gather the dough into a ball and wrap the ball in waxed paper and let it rest while preparing the filling. Roll between 2 fresh pieces of wax paper (2 fresh pieces for each crust). Before placing pie into the oven, brush fresh milk onto the top crust, sprinkle with sugar and a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
Diane Battaglia hi Diane! Thank you for your comment. Yes, I prefer two roll between wax paper too, and fresh each time works best. I do sprinkle sugar, but I haven’t tried milk on top yet!
Thanks for sharing ... I am going to try your pie crust for our holidays... Big hugs .. & God Bless...
YUM...I have got to try this
Hi of course I’m super GLAD I found you. I’m preparing for thanksgiving a week in advance and i truly wonder if the pie crusts freeze well?? I’m cooking for a family of 20 plus friends and I’m not trying to be swamped on the holiday..
Yes, you can definitely freeze this pie crust, just bake it first and protect the edges so they don't break off with handling.
This is a GREAT RECIPE!!!! TYVM!!!
You're welcome, Liza. I've gotten a lot of good feedback about this one!
