Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In medium bowl, mix 3 1/4 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1 3/4 cups butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry leaves side of bowl (2 to 3 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).

    On lightly floured surface, gather pastry into a ball. Divide dough in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable.

    Heat oven to 425°F. On lightly floured surface, roll 1 pastry round, using floured rolling pin, into round 3 inches larger than upside-down 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate. Fold pastry into quarters; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing rim to seal; flute as desired. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut slits in top crust.
