Steps:
- Measure the flour carefully and put it in a medium-sized bowl. Add the dash of salt and stir it with a fork.
- Pour the oil in and stir and "cut" it with a fork until you've got clumps varying between pea-sized and lima bean-sized.
- Distribute the cold water over the mixture and stir and mash with the fork just until it all balls together.
- Wipe your countertop with a damp cloth and spread a piece of wax paper on it. The paper should not slide -- if it does, dampen the counter a LITTLE more.
- Form a little more than half of the dough into a disk and place it on the wax paper. Cover it with another piece of wax paper.
- Roll the dough with a rolling pin from the center out in all directions, keeping it as circular as possible.
- Periodically do the following:.
- peel off the top piece of wax paper, then lay it gently back on top of the crust.
- using the bottom piece to lift it, turn the crust over, peel off that piece of wax paper, lay it back down again and continue rolling.
- Continue the peel-replace-flip-peel-replace technique until your crust is about two inches bigger than your pie pan. IMPORTANT: Peel-replace-flip-peel -- then use the bottom piece of paper to lift the crust and place it over your pie pan. Gently peel off the wax paper.
- Use the same technique to roll the top crust.
- As you prefer, you can leave the top crust whole, cut it into strips for lattice, or whatever.
- OPTIONAL: Brush the top crust with milk and/or sprinkle it with sugar.
- Bake according to your pie directions.
- BON APPETIT!

Steps:
- Combine flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oil and 5 tablespoons of ice cold water; don't mix the liquids together.
- Add liquids to the flour and salt mixture. Stir with a fork until a ball forms; add 1 tablespoon of ice water if it is very crumbly and not holding. It is okay if the dough is not totally cohesive (some crumbles may exist).
- Divide the dough into two equally sized balls. Place in an airtight container and let rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- For one pie crust, place the dough ball between two pieces of wax paper. Use a rolling pin (I recommend using a marble one like this) to roll out until it reaches 12 inches in diameter.
- Carefully peel the top layer off of the wax paper. Invert the pie crust into a pie plate and carefully peel the wax paper off of the dough.
- Bake the pie dough according to pie recipe.

Tips:
- Keep your ingredients cold: This will help prevent the butter from melting and creating a tough crust.
- Use a pastry blender or food processor to cut the butter into the flour: This will help create a more even distribution of the butter and prevent the crust from becoming too crumbly.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together and forms a ball.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Don't roll the dough too thin: The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick.
- Use a pie plate with a removable bottom: This will make it easy to remove the pie from the pan.
- Trim the excess dough around the edges of the pie plate: This will help prevent the edges from becoming overcooked.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool before serving: This will help prevent the filling from oozing out of the crust.
