Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you plan to pre-bake the crust for specific recipes like custard pies.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir with a whisk or fork to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cold water over the mixture. Stir gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. If needed, add an extra teaspoon of water, but do not overwork the dough.

Step 5

Transfer the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers, press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. You can use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface and edges.

Step 6

If the recipe calls for a pre-baked crust, prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool before filling.

Step 7

If you are making a no-bake pie, the crust is ready to be filled as is. Otherwise, follow your pie recipe's instructions for further baking with the filling.
