RED FLAG:
Please use only known brands especially when dealing with flour.
Simple Steps:
- Take a medium bowl, combine the fellow ingredients together very well: all-purpose flour, oil, cold water, salt and baking powder.
- Make sure to mix well (use your hands) and press the dough onto the pie dish with your fingers.
- Bake after filling with preferred filling under high heat (400°F) for 15 minutes or until it becomes crispy and golden.
Notes:
- Poke crust with a fork all over the inside so it doesn’t over puff.
- Make sure you press down into the bottom rim of the pan to spread out the dough and keep it from being so thick.
- To avoid having problems removing the pie from the pan, spray the pie pan with a non-stick spray.
- Personally, white Lili flour gives the best results! Think about it!
- Leave the crust to cool for some time before filling it!
Ingredients :
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons of cold water
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ spoon of oil (you choose which one)
- ¼ tablespoon of baking powder
