Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to the required temperature for your pie filling (typically 375°F to 425°F).

Step 2

In a 9-inch pie pan, combine the flour and salt, stirring together with a fork to mix evenly.

Step 3

Pour the vegetable oil directly into the flour mixture in the pie pan.

Step 4

Add the cold water to the mixture and stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together and forms a crumbly mixture.

Step 5

Using your hands or the back of a spoon, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Make sure the thickness is consistent and there are no gaps.

Step 6

If desired, crimp or shape the edges of the crust with your fingers or a fork for a decorative finish.

Step 7

Fill the crust with your desired pie filling and bake as directed in your pie recipe. For a pre-baked crust, prick the surface with a fork and bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Step 8

Allow the crust to cool slightly if pre-baking before adding your filling.
