HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT OIL PIE CRUST

An oil based pie crust recipe that requires just four ingredients. Perfect for sweet and savory pies and vegan pies! Makes 2 12" pie crusts.

Provided by Cassidy Reeser, MS, RD

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
6 tablespoons ice cold water

Steps:

  • Combine flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oil and 5 tablespoons of ice cold water; don't mix the liquids together.
  • Add liquids to the flour and salt mixture. Stir with a fork until a ball forms; add 1 tablespoon of ice water if it is very crumbly and not holding. It is okay if the dough is not totally cohesive (some crumbles may exist).
  • Divide the dough into two equally sized balls. Place in an airtight container and let rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  • For one pie crust, place the dough ball between two pieces of wax paper. Use a rolling pin (I recommend using a marble one like this) to roll out until it reaches 12 inches in diameter.
  • Carefully peel the top layer off of the wax paper. Invert the pie crust into a pie plate and carefully peel the wax paper off of the dough.
  • Bake the pie dough according to pie recipe.

The very first thing I learned how to cook! This freezes beautifully; no well-equipped home is without a ball of pie dough in the freezer! Guaranteed to roll!

Provided by Debra Shapiro

Categories     Desserts     Pies     100+ Pie Crust Recipes     Pastry Crusts

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
⅓ cup ice water

Steps:

  • Combine flour and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer. Cut butter into tablespoon pieces; add it to the flour and butter. Use the paddle beater to cut the butter and flour together. Alternatively, this can be done by hand with a pastry blender.
  • With the mixer on low speed , or while stirring the mixture with a fork, pour in the cold water. When the dough starts to clump, and before it turns into a ball, stop stirring.
  • Lightly knead dough in the bowl until it forms a ball. Divide dough into two parts. Flatten each part into a disk, and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling.

Tips:

  • Use very cold butter and water for the pie crust. This will help to keep the crust flaky and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Work the butter and water into the flour quickly and gently. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking.
  • Bake the pie crust in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
  • If you are using a glass pie plate, preheat it before adding the pie crust. This will help to prevent the crust from sticking to the plate.
  • Use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the pie crust while it is baking. This will help to prevent the crust from bubbling up.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

Conclusion:

Mom's Oil Crust Pie Shell is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used for a variety of pies. The crust is flaky and flavorful, and it is easy to make.
