Shortcrust pastry for pie

Description

The finished dough should be soft, elastic, and easy to work with. If the dough turns out a bit dry, it's better to add vegetable oil instead of water, one teaspoon at a time. Such dough should be rolled out between sheets of parchment paper. Serve with tea or coffee.
