Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a 9-inch pie dish, whisk the flour, sugar (for a dessert pie) salt and baking powder. Whisk the milk, olive oil (and flavor extract or amaretto for a dessert pie crust) in a measuring cup. Add the liquid to the pie dish. Stir with a fork to blend.

Step 2

When the dough is mixed, gather it into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Press it evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish to form a crust. Crimp the edges along the inside with two fingers. Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork.

Step 3

Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes or just until golden. (Overbaking will make the crust tough.) Let the crust cool on a wire rack when it's done.

Step 4

Store the baked crust covered at room temperature for up to a day before filling it. Once filled, you may need to refrigerate the pie. Follow the storage instructions for the specific pie you are making.

Step 5

Follow the instructions for the pie recipe you're using. While baking, make sure the crust edges don't get too brown. You can cover the crust edges with a pie shield or foil.
