Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 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.
  • Add 1/2 cup of oil and 3 tablespoons of cold water to the flour mixture. Stir gently to combine, forming a dough that is easy to work with.
  • Mix until the ingredients form a cohesive dough. Shape into a ball that holds together when gently squeezed.
  • Press the dough ball into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly along the bottom and up the sides. Crimp the edges as desired.
  • Add your chosen filling to the crust and follow the baking instructions for your specific filling recipe, as times and temperatures vary.

Notes

For best results, avoid overworking the dough. This crust works well for both sweet and savory pies!
