Servings: persons

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2/3 cup cold butter, cubed
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 leek, cleaned and minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, minced
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound fresh Dungeness or Blue Crab meat, picked

1
Combine flour and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a food processor; pulse to combine. Pulse in butter. Slowly drizzle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until a smooth ball of dough forms. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes. Roll dough into a 13-inch circle. Place in a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate; crimp edges of dough. Chill crust 30 minutes.
2
Line crust with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 375u00b0 for 20 minutes. Remove parchment and pie weights, and bake 10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Let cool.
3
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until softened. Add wine, and cook 3 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates.
4
Transfer leek mixture to a large bowl. Add cream, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; whisk until smooth. Stir in crabmeat. Transfer mixture to crust, and bake at 375u00b0 for 30 to 35 minutes or until top is browned and center is almost set. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Braised Apples and Meyer Lemon Creme Fraiche.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
