Ingredients: 2
c
unbleached flour 1/3
c
olive oil 1/4
c
water,
ice cold
Directions:
Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a 9" pie pan with cooking spray and flour.
Place flour in a bowl and drizzle with oil. Use a pastry blender to
evenly distribute the oil and produce a mixture the consistency of coarse
cornmeal. Sprinkle on the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue
mixing until you can gather the dough into a ball. Roll the dough into a
11" circle onto a floured surface. Patch any cracks that may form, but
otherwise try not to handle the dough more than necessary. Transfer the
dough to a pie plate. Trim the dough, leaving a 1" overhang. Crimp the
overhanging dough into a decorative edge. Chill the crust 20 minutes.
Fill and bake according to your pie recipe directions.
