Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Boiling water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix together to distribute the salt evenly.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil and water together until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Immediately pour the boiling water-oil mixture over the flour and butter mixture.
Use a wooden spoon or a spatula to quickly stir the mixture until it forms a soft, pliable dough.
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then shape it into a ball.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to rest and firm up.
When ready to use, remove the dough from the refrigerator, roll it out on a lightly floured surface, and use as directed in your pie recipe.
