Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to the required temperature for your pie filling (typically 375°F to 425°F).
In a 9-inch pie pan, combine the flour and salt, stirring together with a fork to mix evenly.
Pour the vegetable oil directly into the flour mixture in the pie pan.
Add the cold water to the mixture and stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together and forms a crumbly mixture.
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.
If desired, crimp or shape the edges of the crust with your fingers or a fork for a decorative finish.
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.
Allow the crust to cool slightly if pre-baking before adding your filling.
