This is from an older Betty Crocker cookbook. Makes great, flaky, delicate pie crusts. This is for a 2 crust 9" pie. Must use waxed paper to roll out. Patch tears or holes with leftover pieces. If something bad happens, don't re-roll - throw out and do over.

I was a bit skeptical about using oil in a pie crust, but I'm glad I gave this recipe a try. The crust turned out perfectly and it was so easy to make. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love that this recipe uses oil instead of butter. It makes the crust so much lighter and flakier. I'll definitely be using this recipe again.
