Instructions for Single, Baked Einkorn Flour Pie Crust

• In a medium bowl, mix flour and salt together
• Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If you use a mixer or food processor, be sure not to over process. You want to keep the butter as cold as possible.
• Add the apple cider vinegar and mix in thoroughly. Now carefully add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until a ball of dough forms.
• Cover the bowl and put the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is 4-5 inches larger than your pie pan. Rotate or flip the crust to re-flour your surface and the crust to prevent it from sticking.
• Give the bottom of your pie pan a light dusting.
• Carefully roll the pie crust over your rolling pin or gently fold it into quarters. Then gently lift it and unroll it into your pie plate.
• Gently flute (fold the excess dough under itself) even with the pan. Now you can crimp the edges with your fingers or use a fork to mark the edge.
• Prick the bottom and sides of your crust generously with a fork. This will prevent the crust from rising in the middle, causing peaks and valleys in your crust.
• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F
• While the oven is preheating, put your pie crust in the freezer or refrigerator to keep the butter chilled.
• Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes until your crust is golden brown or to your desired browning.
