Because the dough is not rolled out, you don't need a rolling pin-just a mixing bowl and a spoon. Press the buttry crumbs evenly into a pie pan, and then bake the dough briefly before adding the custardy pumpkin fillinf. The finished crust is crisp, cookielike, and sophisticated.

makes one 9-inch pie crust

2 ounces (4 Tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
3 Tbsp sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp coarse salt

Bake, rotating halfway through, just until crust turns golden brown, 20-22 minutes. Let cool in pie dish on a wire rack.
