Makes just enough for a two-person tart.

Makes 2 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 5 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 5 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

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 or walnut oil
1/4 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1-2 tablespoons cold water

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.

This crust was easy to make and rolled out well (I use Wondra flour on my pie cloth when rolling crust -- try it, it's great). I might even double it for a regular size pie.
