Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or rubber spatula, gently mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Drizzle in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with the fork until the dough comes together and forms a cohesive ball. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the crust tough.

Step 4

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or wax paper. Roll it out into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter to fit a standard 9-inch pie pan.

Step 5

Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment or wax paper and transfer the rolled-out dough into the pie pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming and crimping the edges as desired.

Step 6

If using the crust for a pre-baked pie, prick the bottom with a fork, weigh it down with pie weights, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. For an unbaked pie, fill and bake according to your recipe’s instructions.
