Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add oil all at once and work into flour lightly and deftly with a fork until the oil coats the flour. The mixture should have a pebbly consistency. Add water all at once, mixing quickly with a fork until a ball of dough is formed in the center of the bowl. Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured board (or between 2 pieces of wax paper, wetting the surface under the bottom paper to prevent sliding.) Use light, short strokes, working out from the center. When dough is half rolled out, use longer strokes, applying more pressure. This ensures an even crust. Peel off top piece of paper and invert rolled dough into 9" pie pan. Peel off bottom layer of paper. If rolling on floured surface, turn dough over when half rolled out, lightly re-flouring surface, before proceeding. When finished rolling, fold dough carefully in half to place into pie pan.
