EASIEST NO-ROLL PIE CRUST... PAT IN THE PAN
Easiest Pie Crust Ever! Always flaky and anyone can do it. It's patted down right in the pie-pan, no rolling, just spreads easily with your fingers. As a novice cook, I found this in a Mommy-Recipe-Exchange-Cookbook at my son's elementary school in the 1960's and don't know its origin. I've call it Newly-Wed Pie Crust because...

Steps:
- 1. In small bowl whisk oil and milk gently until cloudy, set aside.
- 2. In a 9-inch pie pan (glass is best*) combine the full cup flour with the salt/sugar, stirring with fork until well blended. Make a well (space) in the center and pour oil/milk mixture in it. Use fork to combine all ingredients just until dry ingredients are no longer dry and mixture is spreadable. Dip fingers in flour and use fingers to pat around evenly in pie pan. *By using a glass pan you can hold it up to the light and see where the thicker parts are and spread it around evenly. It is a light, soft dough and easy to spread. Use fork tines to score rim and poke around the pieshell to prevent bubbling. Bake in a 400 preheated oven until edges are brown, about 10 to 15 min. Keep an eye on it using fork to poke down any bubbling.
- 3. This is best for a pre-baked single shell pie such as for lemon meringue. Can be used raw and filled with fruit in a standard recipe but for the top crust you will have to use a traditional rolled crust recipe.
PAT-IN-THE-PAN PIE CRUST
From "Cook's Country from America's Test Kitchen," episode 107, "Easy As Pie." The secret to preserve flakiness (based on rugelach dough) is cream cheese. The cream cheese makes the dough dense enough not to need a filler while blind baking, so no pie weights needed!

Steps:
- In a stand mixer (or a large bowl with an electric hand beater), cream together cream cheese and butter on medium-high for 2 minutes until fully combined. Scrape down sides of bowl.
- Whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Add to mixer bowl and stir on medium-low until until it resembles corn meal, then on medium-high until it all sticks together. Remove 3 tbsp of dough and reserve.
- Flour workbench lightly. Turn dough out onto floured board. Knead lightly until well-combined. Pat out into a 6" circle, and transfer to a greased 9" pie plate. Using heel of hand, press dough out to sides of pan. Using fingertips, push dough smooth and even, working it up the sides of the pan.
- Roll out reserved dough into a rope about 12" long (use a ruler!). Cut into three 4" lengths, then roll each piece out to 8" long. Lay the 3 ropes along the upper edge of the pie pan, pressing lightly into the dough already in the pan. Flute the edge as you would a rolled crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Dough can be held up to 2 days in the refrigerator, or 1 month in the freezer if double wrapped.).
- Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork (try not to go all the way through to the pan, or the filling might leak). Bake in preheated 325°F oven for about 35 minutes until golden brown.

PAT-IN PIE CRUST (NO-ROLL)
I'm afraid I'm going to lose this! My neighbor gave it to me--she knows I don't make pie crust--I usually buy the premade ones, but she assured me I could do this. It was wonderful in her quiche--(she said to leave out the vanilla for savory pies.) It's a little different than some of the other no-roll crusts I've seen, so I want to make sure it's safe here!

PAT-IN-THE-PAN PIE CRUST
Those with an aversion to pie pastry, rejoice! This recipe will guarantee you a delicious and EASY pie crust without requiring you to artfully roll out a carefully measured concoction of lard, butter, and flour, producing just the right texture through the production of gluten. In pat-in-the-pan crusts, no gluten has the chance to develop, so you'll end up with a crumbly, rather than flaky, crust. Originally from the Joy of Cooking.

Tips:
- Use cold ingredients: This will help prevent the butter from melting and creating a greasy crust.
- Work quickly: The less you handle the dough, the better. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Don't overmix the dough: Just mix until the ingredients are combined and the dough starts to come together. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help the dough be less sticky and easier to work with.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface: This will prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin or the counter.
- Use a sharp knife to trim the dough: This will help create a clean, even edge.
- Bake the pie crust in a preheated oven: This will help the crust cook evenly.
