Pie crust without shortening or butter? It's totally possible. A pie crust using oil instead is not only a nice change from the usual, but
is also much easier to make—you don't need a pastry blender or a rolling pin. This is a perfect pie crust recipe for beginner bakers
or anyone intimidated by having to cut shortening into the flour. It's also a great option when you find yourself out of shortening!
Ingredients
Steps to Make It
05 Place dough in the middle of 8- or 9-inch glass pie plate. Spread dough out with your fingers, covering the bottom of the
plate, up along the sides and over the rim.
07 Enjoy!
Tips
■ The dough is most versatile when made with a mild-flavored oil like vegetable, canola, safflower or peanut.
You could use extra virgin olive oil, but it is best with a savory pie like a quiche.
■ You can also try coconut oil for an added flavor. Since coconut oil is solid at room temperature, you'll have
to heat it slightly in the microwave before using it in this crust.
■ If you need a top crust as well for your pie, you can double this recipe.
