Recipe Introduction
Makes a double-crust pie or 2 single crust pies.
List of Ingredients
3 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 1/4 cups Shortening
1 Egg -- well beaten
5 tablespoons Ice water
1 teaspoon VinegarRecipe
In a small straight-sided bowl, combine flour and salt. Add shortening. Use a pastry blender to cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg, ice water and vinegar; add to flour mixture ALL AT ONE TIME. Use a fork to stir briskly, not more than 10 strokes, or until mixture forms a loose ball. Turn dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap, and use hands to gently compress dough into a ball. Refrigerate dough at least 30 minutes before rolling out on a piece of wax paper. (You'll need a fresh piece for each crust you roll.)
