Whole-Wheat Pie Dough

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup ice water (cold water from a fridge pitcher is perfect)

Before you start do some prep work!!! Disinfect and dry your counter-top. Set your ingredients, rolling pin, pie pan (muffin tin or pan) in front of you.  Lightly, sprinkle a circle of flour on your counter-top for later.

Combine flours and salt in a bowl. Using your bare hands mix the butter into the flour mixture. When combined add the egg and water and continue to mix with your hands until all ingredients are well blended. Form the dough into a ball and drop onto the flour circle. Use your rolling pin to shape the dough into the form you need.

**the original recipe says you can roll out the dough onto plastic wrap and chill if it is too soft to handle. It also says you can store the wrapped dough in an airtight container for a month. To thaw leave on counter for 30 min.
