  • Add to flour mixture.
  • Next stir in cooled oil.
  • If it is too crumbly add a tablespoon of water at a time until it is soft and pliable and not cracking.
  • Next, lay down two sheets of plastic wrap side by side and overlapping.
  • Then lay down the pie crust dough on the two sheets of plastic.
  • Lay down two sheets side by side of overlapping plastic wrap on top of the pie crust dough.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to the correct shape and size.
  • Carefully remove the top layer of plastic making sure it does not stick.
  • Using the plastic wrap carefully lift up the crust.
  • Lay the crust into the pan while carefully removing the bottom layer of plastic wrap.
  • If pieces fall off gently press on to where they are needed.
  • Remove any excess with your fingers or a knife.
  • Prick the bottom with a fork.
  • You can either fill the pie with pie filling and bake.
  • Or bake and fill with a filling inside.
  • Go around the edge of your pie pan crimping the dough to make a decorative edge.
  • f you are baking the crust without any filling feel free to add pie weights and bake at 350 for approximately 20-30 minutes.
