Preparation

1. Prepare pastry. Rub the butter with the flour until crumbly. After the butter and flour are in crumbs, add in a pinch of salt and a few tsp of water and hold the crumbs together to form a firm dough. Wrap and rest in fridge 15-20 minutes.

3. Roll 1/2 dough to line base of pie tin. Brush with egg white.

4. Spoon pie fillings into pastry lined tin.

5. Roll remainder 1/2 dough to cover top of pie.
