Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Cold water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Use a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Drizzle the cold water over the mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water, so add it gradually.

Step 4

Once the dough holds together, divide it into two equal portions if making a double crust, or keep it whole if making a single-crust pie.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball (or two if divided) and flatten into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes to rest. This step is optional but will help with rolling out.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired size, typically around 1/8 inch thickness. Rotate the dough as you roll to maintain an even thickness and prevent sticking.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the rolled dough to your pie pan. Press it gently into the pan and trim any excess overhang with a sharp knife. Crimp or decorate the edges as desired.

Step 8

Proceed with your pie recipe by adding your filling and baking, or bake the crust alone if your recipe calls for a pre-baked shell.
