INGREDIENTS FOR PASTRY:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cake flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 6 teaspoons ice water
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

FOR PIE
• 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

PREPARATION: For pastry, combine flour, cake flour, sugar and salt in bowl of food processor fitted with a steel blade; pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture forms a coarse meal. Add water and lemon juice; pulse just until mixture forms clumps.
Turn dough out onto floured surface and form into two balls. Flatten each ball into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for at least 2 hours.
For the pie, use 1 pastry; freeze remaining pastry until ready to use.
Unwrap pastry; roll out on floured surface to fit a 9-inch diameter pie pan.
Combine flour and brown sugar; sprinkle over bottom of crust. Arrange peaches, cut side up, in pie shell. Combine evaporated milk and egg; mix well.
Pour over peaches. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; sprinkle over top of pie.
