Canola Oil Pie Crust

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

This canola oil pie crust is easy for any baker to make! No need for pastry knives, just freeze the pre-measured canola oil the night before. The frozen oil acts like a solid fat but with all the health benefits of canola oil, low in saturated fat and trans-fat free. You can use the dough for sweet or savoury fillings. It’s just like Grandma’s but better!
