Whole wheat pie crust. Soft cheese.

                 Rainy days starts autumn. Nobody wants to go out, nobody wants to dinner outside. Well maybe some wants, but I am not the one who like rain in my soup.
So what to do when it's like that? Bake. Eat. Sleep.

For crust:
200 gram whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
100 gram butter

1-2 tablespoon of cold, cold water
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
pinch of pepper


For soft cheese spread:
100 ml of heavy cream (or double cream)
70 gram of gouda, grated
1-2 tablespoon of parmesan
50 gram of smooth fresh cheese
cutted green onion
pinch of nutmeg, white pepper

In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, pepper. Add cold butter and mix - you should have crumbs, not solid dough. Add yolk and start making dough with hands. Quickly - if it is too dry - add cold water.
