Method
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the very cold butter into small pieces.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles wet sand.
- Add the oil to the mixture, and using your hands mix it in, being careful not to overmix or warm up the cold butter.
- Add the ice water, and mix with your hands creating a rough dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board or counter top. Using your hands push the dough together, again being careful not to over work it.
- Once the dough is formed, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using it in your favorite pie recipe.

Notes
This pie crust can be made well in advance and even stored tightly wrapped in the freezer for 2 months. If freezing it make sure you allow enough time for it to defrost in the refrigerator before you need to use it.
