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.

1. ) Cut your Stick (1/2 Cup) of butter into small cubes (aim for about 30-40 smaller cubes) and then quickly place cubed butter into the freezer (just while we work on the rest of the recipe – no more than 10 mins). NOTES: DON’T leave your butter on the counter while we mix up the flours, and don’t leave it in the freezer for TOO long either ????! See Post for details as to WHY we want it cold, but not frozen 🙂
2. nstruction-step-2″ class=”MsoNormal” style=”line-height: normal”>2.) Mix all dry ingredients together in a food Processor (PREFERRED), a stand mixer, or a Bowl (if using a pastry cutter!). If using a Food Processor, then pulse just to evenly to combine dry ingredients. IF using stand mixer, then mix on lowest speed for just a few seconds to mix. Otherwise, just place in a bowl and use a whisk to combine.
3. uction-step-3″ class=”MsoNormal” style=”line-height: normal”>3.) Drop your COLD cubed butter into the dry ingredients and pulse on and off for 10-15 seconds in your food processor until butter cubes are coated with flour and resembe the size of a pea down to half the size of a PEA (this is important! Too big of chunks yields holes in your pie crust, but no butter chunks at all leave your pie crust ‘tougher’ rather than flakey). *If using a stand mixer, then mix with the paddle on lowest speed, in short bursts, just until butter cubes are coated with flour and just slightly bashed by the paddle (10-20 seconds total ish and butter chunks about pea sized). *If using a pastry cutter, then cut/gently mash butter into flour until coated with flour (but still chunky, with all butter chunks being slightly smaller than pea sized!).
4. tep-4″ class=”MsoNormal” style=”line-height: normal”>4.)Working quickly, add 6 Tablespoons ICE water into food processor and pulse for a few seconds to check the dough. If needed add additional ice water (1/2 TBSP at a time) and continue to pulse until a very crumbly dough forms. You will know it’s ready and you’ve used just the right amount of water, when you can PINCH/gather the crumbly dough pieces together and they stick together to form a dough during pinching (PLEASE SEE PHOTO GUIDE IN POST)! You want your pie crust dough to have pretty small but visible (1/2 the size of a pea) butter chunks in it (not a smooth dough ball) too. Once your shaggy/crumbly dough has formed, gather up (touching as little as possible) and place onto seran wrap. Wrap tightly and press the dough together through the seran wrap to form a dough disc. If your dough was as suggested above (forms together when pinched), then you should be able to mold a SMOOTH round disc while in the seran wrap by lightly pre
