Vinegar Pie
- Flaky pastry dough
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- Cinnamon for dusting
- Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream
- Special equipment: a 9- to 9 1/2-inch round fluted tart pan (1 inch deep) with removable bottom; pie weights or raw rice
- Roll out half of pastry dough (reserve remainder for another use) on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round.
- Fit dough into tart pan and trim excess, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
- Fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to form a rim that extends 1/4 inch above pan.
- Prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and chill 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights.
- Bake in middle of oven until edge is pale golden and sides are set, about 20 minutes.
- Remove weights and foil and bake shell until bottom is golden, 8 to 10 minutes more.
- Whisk together eggs and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl until blended well.
- Whisk together flour and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then whisk in water and vinegar.
- Bring to a boil, whisking until sugar is dissolved.
- Add to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly.
- Pour filling into saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until filling coats back of spoon and registers 175F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes.
- (Do not boil.)
- Immediately pour filling into a 2-cup glass measure.
- If pie shell is not ready, cover surface of filling with a round of wax paper.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350F, then pour hot filling into baked pie shell in middle of oven and cover rim of crust with a pie shield or foil (to prevent overbrowning).
- Bake pie until filling is set, 15 to 20 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack.
- Dust evenly with cinnamon.
