Instructions
- In a large bowl, stand mixer or food processor whisk together the flours, sugar, salt and baking powder.
- Add the egg, yolk, vanilla and room temperature butter, mix until the dough is almost combined.
- Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead to form a soft dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes before using.
Notes
- If you find the dough too dry then add more butter or a little water.
- In a blender or food processor add blanched almonds blend or pulse until a fine, powdery flour is achieved.
- Any pie dough is great to make in advance! Store wrapped in plastic wrap or rolled out in the pie or tart pan covered with plastic wrap for up to a day. Do not add filling to the crust until ready to bake.
- Store well wrapped dough in the freeze for up to two months. You can also freeze pre-baked crusts wrapped for a month or two. Thaw wrapped at room temperature.
