Ingredients

½ cup olive oil extra virgin
3 ½ cups flour
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup potato starch
1 ½ tbsp water or, as needed

Instructions

Make the Pie Crust Dough

Combine (or sift together) the flour, baking powder and potato starch. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks together with the water. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously until blended.
Add the powdered sugar all at once, whisking vigorously until smooth.
Add the flour mixture and mix with your hands or a paddle attachment until a ball forms.
Transfer the ball to a work surface and knead just until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in the refrigerator for an hour.

Freeze or Stretch

After the hour rest, divide the dough in two. Freeze or roll out the dough as you would any pie crust!
