This easy no fuss pie crust recipe is packed with incredible flavor and simple to prepare. Perfect for family meals or special occasions!
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- It’s all the convenience of a store-bought crust but you get to control the ingredients. For instance, you can use whatever oil you like! Peanut, olive, avocado, canola… you could even use melted butter. It all works. It comes out tender and surprisingly flaky.
- This makes enough for a 9-inch single crust pie and if you need to blind bake it just make sure you poke holes in it first with a fork to keep it from puffing up too much. If you do need a top-crust, you can double this recipe and simply tear apart little pieces of dough for the second crust, scattering them across the top of the pie as a kind of streusel topping.
- INGREDIENTS
- cups all-purpose flour
- /2 cup oil of your choice
- tablespoons cold water
- /2 teaspoon salt
- /4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add oil and water and mix until combined. Form into a ball.
- Press ball of dough into the bottom of prepared pie dish, spreading it out towards the sides. Using your knuckles or the bottom of a glass, push it evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- Crimp top edges or flatten with fork tines, fill with favorite filling, and bake according to your pie’s instructions.
