Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Flaky Old Fashioned Pie Crust.
Step 1
To start your pie crust journey, grab a mixing bowl and whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until they’re perfectly blended.
Step 2
Next, drizzle in the vegetable oil and use a fork to mix it all together until the texture resembles coarse crumbs—think of it as creating a sandy beach for your crust! Now, it’s time to bring it all together.
Step 3
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, gently mixing until the dough starts to form.
Step 4
Remember, patience is key here; adding too much water at once can lead to a sticky situation! Once your dough has come together beautifully, shape it into a ball and then divide it in half.
Step 5
On a floured surface, roll out each half to your preferred thickness for the pie crust.
Step 6
Whether you like it thin and delicate or a bit thicker for a hearty pie, the choice is yours! Enjoy the process and imagine the delicious filling that will soon nestle inside your homemade crust.
