Makes just enough for a two-person tart.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour, (see Sources)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 chunks
• 1 tablespoon canola oil, or walnut oil
• 1/4 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 1-2 tablespoons cold water

Preparation

1. Mix whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork until it is smaller than peas. Stir in oil and vinegar. Mix in enough water so the dough is evenly moist and a little crumbly but not wet. Gather the dough into a ball, then pat it into a disk.

Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Let stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes before rolling.

• White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour.
