No Roll Pie Crust

I found this recipe in Vegetarian Times. It worked perfectly for a quiche crust, and then I used it for a veggie pot pie. It says no roll (that's what caught my eye) but I rolled it (just an excuse to use my grandmother's wooden rolling pin). The special ingredient was 1 TBSP of sesame seeds-they added a light,nutty flavor to the flaky crust. The crust is made in a food processor.I filled my quiche with sauteed broccoli and onions.
3/4 C. unbleached white flour
1 TBSP sesame seeds
3 TBSP butter or margarine
1 TBSP white vinegar
1-2 TBSP ice water, as needed

Place flour, seeds, and butter in food processor. Process to a coarse meal. Slowly add vinegar and tiny dribbles of ice water. Roll if desired. Or, spray a pie pan with non stick cooking spray and use your fingertips to cover the bottoms and sides evenly. Chill for 20 minutes before filling and baking for optimal flakiness!
