Recipe: Oatmeat Pie Crust [edit]

Step 1

Sift together flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course crumbs. Stir in oatmeal. Sprinkle water by tablespoons over mixtures; stir lightly with fork until just dampened. (If necessary, add another tablespoon cold water to make dough hold together.) Form into ball.
