Pre heat oven at 400 F and place rack in the middle of the oven. Line baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside until ready to use.
Put ingredients 1 to 5 in a medium sized bowl and mix with wire whisk. Intermittently add iced cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time and knead until all of the ingredients come together. I used about 5 tablespoons of iced cold water in this recipe.

When ready, flatten crust and using a cookie cutter cut into rounds.
Add filling in the middle and seal. Brush the crust using the egg wash. As shown in the video
