1. Preheat oven to 350 F and place the rack in the middle position. Place a 9- inch pyrex pie plate in the freezer. Mix egg white with water.
2. Measure the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the cubed cold butter and pulse until the butter is pea-sized. Drizzle the egg white around the bowl of the crust ingredients and pulse until the dough comes together.
3. Place a new piece of cling film on the counter. Unwrap the pie crust dough and place it on the center. Place another piece of cling film on top of the dough. With a rolling pin, and starting at the center, roll the dough away from yourself. Give the dough a quarter turn and roll away from your self again. (If the cold dough crumbles a bit, don't worry, the rolling will warm it up and it will press back together.) Do this several times, flipping the whole pie crust over and proceeding with the other side until you have a 12 inch round disc. Place the crust in the freezer for 3-5 minutes or the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the pie plate from the freezer and place on your work surface. Remove the rolled crust from the freezer or refrigerator and peel-off the top piece of cling film. If the dough is stiff as a board, let it sit for a minute on the work surface.
