5-Minute Quick Pastry

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.

Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in vegetable oil and gradually add water while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead Briefly:
On a lightly floured surface, knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth.

Roll Out:
Roll the dough to your desired thickness. Use immediately for pies, turnovers, or tarts.

Bake or Cook:

For a pie or tart base: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.

For a pan-fried option: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook 2–3 minutes per side.

Tips

Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or herbs for sweet or savory versions.

Storage: Can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 1 day.

Cheater Shortcut: Pre-bake slightly before adding fillings to avoid soggy bottoms.
