Description

This Oil Pie Crust recipe offers a quick and easy alternative to traditional butter crusts, using olive or canola oil for a tender, flaky texture without the need for rolling. Its simple ingredients come together in just a few steps, making it perfect for both sweet and savory pies.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil or canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/2 tablespoon vodka or distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the olive or canola oil with cold water and vodka or distilled white vinegar until well blended.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large bowl.
  4. Stir Dough: Using a fork, stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly moistened, forming a crumbly dough.
  5. Chill Dough: Gather the dough into a rough ball within the bowl using your hands. Press a sheet of plastic wrap tightly against the surface of the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to set.
  6. Press into Pie Dish: Once chilled, transfer the dough to your pie dish and press it evenly along the bottom and up the sides using your fingers. This crust requires no rolling and is now ready to be filled and baked according to your preferred pie recipe.

Notes

  • You can substitute olive oil with canola oil based on your flavor preference.
  • Vodka or distilled white vinegar helps tenderize the dough and provides flakiness.
  • This crust works well with both sweet and savory pies.
  • Be sure to use cold water to help maintain dough texture.
  • If the dough becomes too sticky after chilling, lightly flour your hands while pressing it into the pie dish.
