If you are planning on making multiple pies this holiday season you will want to double or triple this recipe depending on your needs.

Makes dough for large single-crust pie

Ingredients. 

• 1-3/4cups unbleached white flour
• 1/2cup canola or other vegetable oil
• 3tablespoons ice water
• 1/2teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Dump flour, then salt, into a large bowl; stir a little. Make into a mound then form a well in the center.
2. Add the ice water to the well, then the oil. Stir with a fork just until blended. Use a spatula to scoop into a ball.
3. Roll dough between parchment paper or plastic wrap or use Teddy's method: she cuts the handles off of grocery-store shopping bags then slits up the sides and snips off the bottom seams to make sheets to roll the dough between.
4. Use as you would for any pie. Double the recipe for pies with a top crust. For a nice glaze, mix 2 Tbsp. sugar with 2 Tbsp. water in a mug and microwave for a minute; use a pastry brush to brush glaze onto top crust about five minutes before the end of bake time.
