Description

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/3 cup vegetable shortening. I used Crisco.
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 3 tablespoons cold water

Directions

• Combine the flour and salt in a medium sized bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until it is the size of small peas.
• Combine the egg, vinegar and water and whisk with a fork until blended.
• Mix the egg mixture into the flour until well combined and you can form it into a ball.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. The dough is very forgiving and you can easily repair any cracks or tears with a dab of water as glue. Gently rerolling it wont make it tough.
• Makes 1 2-crust and 1 small 1-crust pie.
