Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 12 cup sugar
  • 12 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 14 cup canola oil

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Add dry ingredients to a large bowl.
  • Add the butter and using a fork or butter knife cut it in a bit to make the butter into bits the size of sugar cubes.
  • This seems to help the butter distribute better once the oil is added.
  • Then add the oil.
  • With your hand (or hands) rub the butter and oil into the flour/sugar.
  • When you're done there will be no dry flour remaining and you'll be able to form a ball.
  • Press the pastry into a pie plate or tart forms.
  • Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent the crust from forming bubbles and place in a 350 degree fahrenheit oven.
  • Cooking times will vary, but expect 15 to 20 minutes for a light crust.
  • Note: This has only been used for Lemon Tarts and Cook & Serve Pudding fillings.
  • I have not used it for longer cooking fillings and don't know how it would fare for things like Pumpkin Pie, etc.
