There are recipes for liquid oil crusts, but olive oil is going to be too tasty of olives for a lot of pies. Some people complain of the coconut product taste of using coconut oil, but it's supposed to work great in pastry.

I keep extra butter and vegan baking sticks in the freezer. You can run frozen solid butter through the grater on your food processor right into your flour. Or set frozen butter on a stone counter or other massy surface, and it'll be cutable in at most half an hour, and somewhat frozen butter is a preferred way to make pie crusts anyway.

I don't like oil or coconit oil for a pie cruse....for me it's butter, lard or...crisco.

For lard or crisco my recipe is 1 cup of loosley spooned flour/ 1/3 cup crisco ro lard, salt....1/2 tsp or less if your butter is salted....and about 4 T water to make it hang together.

For butter, I use 1 stick of butter and 1 1/2 cups spooned flour, 1/2 tsp salt, cut butter into flour until likes plit peas in flour....add3 T vodka and toss to combine and 3 T ice water of however much it takes for the dough to hang together....refrigerate for at least an hour.

lars has an excellent pie crust recipe

you can check it on this thread

I still make that pie crust recipe, but it does use butter.

butter is best for making a flakey pie crust.

"I generally have coconut oil, olive oil and butter on hand."

I would go with the butter instead of oil. I make my pie crusts with either part butter/part Crisco or all butter. Ina Garten has a nice all-butter pie crust recipe. I also like Martha Stewart's Pate Brisee and have used it for years. You can make it with all butter or butter and Crisco.

Thank you Carol and all. @carolb_w_fl_coastal_9/10 I think I did not make myself clear. While I absolutely totally prefer a very short buttery pie crust I wanted to see if someone had an acceptbkenon- butter crust recipe in

I make a non-roll, press-in type crust for tarts that's been my standby for years. I've never tried it with all cream cheese but I suspect it would work.

1 C. flour

1 stick of butter

3 oz cream cheese

Cream butter & cream cheese; cut in flour;wrap in plastic wrap & chill.

If I am reading correctly, agmiss15 is asking for an acceptable NON-BUTTER pie crust recipe for the times when she doesn't have any butter in the house.
