This recipe has been handed down for over 80 years, I'm told. It makes the flakiest crust ever! Surprisingly, it is made with oil, not lard. This is a must-try.

Ingredients

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 3.5 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk flour with salt in a bowl; use a fork to stir in vegetable oil. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, before adding more water. Gather dough into a ball, divide in half, and roll out on a floured work surface.
