The Best Pie Crust

Everyone has their favorite pie crust recipe. This is mine. I got it from my Mom and I've been using it successfully for a very long time! I like that it turns out nice and flaky.

Oil Pie Crust

8-9 Inch Pan
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup oil
2-3 Tbsp. cold water

10 Inch Pan
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup oil
3-4 Tbsp. cold water

Combine flour and salt. Add oil and mix well. Start by adding the minimum amount of cold water and very gradually add more water until desired consistency is reached. You don't want it dry, but too much water turns the crust tough and chewy. Roll and put in pie pan.
