Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Mazola oil (or any neutral vegetable oil)
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if you’re blind-baking the crust for a pre-baked pie shell.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Add the Mazola oil to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, mix the oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and gently mix just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overmixing as it can make the crust tough.

Step 5

Transfer the dough directly into a 9-inch pie pan. Using your fingers, press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. If the dough feels sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour to make spreading easier.

Step 6

Flute the edges of the pie crust using your fingers or a fork for a decorative finish.

Step 7

If the recipe calls for a pre-baked shell, prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let the crust cool completely before filling.

Step 8

For a filled pie requiring baking, proceed with your desired filling and follow the specific pie recipe instructions for baking.
