Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Use a fork to gently mix until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently with the fork after each addition, until the dough comes together. Be careful not to over mix.

Step 4

Once the dough has formed, shape it into a ball with your hands. If the dough feels sticky, lightly flour your hands and work surface.

Step 5

Place the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Roll it out evenly with a rolling pin to fit your pie pan.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the pie pan by either rolling it onto the rolling pin or lifting it with the parchment paper. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming or crimping the edges as desired.

Step 7

Use immediately for your chosen pie recipe. If the recipe requires a pre-baked crust, pierce the bottom with a fork several times and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
