- 1/2 cup oil vegetable, canola, or olive oil
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Set the dish aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. This ensures even distribution of ingredients.

- Mix until the ingredients form a cohesive dough. Shape into a ball that holds together when gently squeezed.

- Add your chosen filling to the crust and follow the baking instructions for your specific filling recipe, as times and temperatures vary.
