For an extra flaky crust, chill the flour and oil separately before starting. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it becomes manageable. For a sweeter crust, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the flour mixture. Blind bake the crust for 15-20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) before filling to prevent a soggy bottom.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt. This ensures even distribution and a lighter, flakier crust. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a liquid measuring cup, combine the vegetable oil and ice-cold milk. Lightly whisk together until just combined. The cold temperature is crucial for preventing gluten development and achieving a tender crust. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Pour the oil and milk mixture into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently combine the wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing; it's okay if there are still some streaks of flour. (Mix time: 3-5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, gently shape each half into a disc. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out. (Chill time: 30+ minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Repeat with the second disc if making a double-crust pie. (Assembly time: 15-20 minutes)
