Ingredients
  

  • 0.75 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 tablespoon Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Water

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the flours, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • With your fingers, quickly rub butter into the dry ingredients until the pieces are smaller in size but still visible.
  • Add sour cream and oil and toss with a fork to combine.
  • Sprinkle water over the mixture and toss with a fork until evenly moist.
  • Knead the dough in the bowl a few times -- the mixture will still be a little crumbly.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few more times, until the dough just holds together.
  • Shape into a circle approximately 5 inches around, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator; let stand for 5 minutes to warm slightly.
  • Roll between sheets of parchment or wax paper into a 13-inch circle.
  • Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Peel off the remaining paper.
  • Trim the crust so it overhangs the edge of the pan evenly (you can use kitchen shears or a butter knife).
  • Tuck the overhanging crust under, forming a double-thick edge.
  • Using your fingers, flute the edge.
  • Proceed with your favourite pumpkin pie recipe.
