How to Make 3 Ingredient Easy Oil Pie Crust

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) ice water and 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable shortening or oil.
  2. Gradually add 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, mixing with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half.
  4. Place each half of the dough between two sheets of wax paper. Roll out each half into a 12-inch circle.
  5. Carefully transfer the bottom crust into your pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  6. Add your favorite pie filling.
  7. Carefully top with the second crust (or use a lattice top), crimping the edges to seal.
  8. Bake according to your pie filling's recipe instructions. (For a double crust pie, bake at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 10-15 minutes before adding filling and baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown).
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your unbelievably flaky pie!
