Ingrients & Directions


1 c Unbleached white flour; plus
2 tb Unbleached white flour
1 ds Salt
1/4 c Chilled oil
1 Egg white; beaten lightly
1 ts Apple cider vinegar
Ice water

In medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Make small well in center of
flour; add oil. Lightly mix with fingertips, fork or food processor until
dough is like cornmeal. Do not overmix. Add egg white and vinegar; mix just
until incorporated. With fingertips, form dough into ball. If still
crumbly, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is slightly
sticky and holds together. Form into flattened circle about 1/2-inch thick.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 20 minutes. Working on
lightly floured table or countertop, roll dough into 11-inch circle. Fold
in half and drape over 9-inch pie pan. Unfold, being careful not to stretch
or tear. Trim excess dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Flute edges. Yield:
1 crust.
