Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil (or other neutral oil)
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and vegetable oil. Mix gently with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together and forms a ball.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a flat disk.
If using immediately, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess around the edges.
If saving for later use, wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
For baked fillings, pre-bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes after pricking the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
Cool completely before filling for sweet pies or continue baking with filling as directed in your recipe.
