 One Perfectly flakey 9" Pie Crust from Arnel's Originals All Purpose Flour

~ 1 cup of Arnel's Originals All Purpose Flour and Pie Crust Mix
~ 1/4 cup softened butter (salted,) or healthy margarine, or coconut oil ( add 1/4 teaspoon sea salt)
~ 1/2 lg egg slightly beaten
~ 1 - 2 Tablespoons of water if needed

•  Combine with a fork so the mixture is crumbly
• Add egg to crumbly mixture. It should now hold together. If it doesn't, add 1 Tablespoon water.

• Gather a bit more than half the dough mixture and place it in your pie pan.
• With waxed paper on top of the dough, press into your pie pan, spreading the dough evenly on the bottom and sides and fluting the edges to make it look appealing. (As an alternative, you could roll the dough between two pieces of waxed paper, peel one piece off, carefully flip the crust into the pie tin, peel off the second piece and press the dough into the pan. Don't be concerned that the pie crust has broken into pieces. It is very forgiving in the raw state and will connect well with its parts. )

• Pierce bottom of crust with a fork, making several air holes.
