    Flaky Piecrust


    Source of Recipe


    Dave Letterman's Mom

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup Shortening
    2 cups Flour
    1 tablespoon Salt
    1 Egg yolk
    1/4 cup Cold milk
    1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

    Recipe



    In a medium bowl, cut shortening into flour, sugar, and salt until the mix looks like cornmeal or small peas. In another bowl, slightly beat egg yolk and combine with milk and lemon juice. Add to flour mixture and mix by hand until it forms a ball. Roll on well-floured pastry cloth with a well-floured rolling pin. This pastry maintains its flaky qualities even after being rolled out a number of times. Makes pastry for one 2-crust pie or two single-crust pies.
