Method

Shake together oil and water (both at room temperature).
Sift dry ingredients together into mixing bowl; sprinkle with water-oil mixture while blending with electric mixer at lowest speed for 3 minutes. Or, stir it in with a fork. Dough will seem dry but it can be molded easily by hand. Shape it into ball, flatten slightly, roll out between sheets of waxed paper.
