    Never Fail PIe Crust.

    1 1/ 2 cup Shortening, divided like this.
    ......(my tweak,,)
    ......1/2 cup margerine(1 stick)
    ......1/4 cup lard, (armour makes a good solid lard)
    ...... 3/4 cup white crisco.

    3 1/2 cup regular flour,
    blend with 1 teaspoon salt.

    blend flour,shortening until crumbly.

    in a medium bowl
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    1 Tablespoon Vinegar
    5 tablespoon cold water
    mix together.
    Add liquid to flour, stir with a fork,
    this might be sticky, add a little more flour around side of
    bowl, and work into a ball with your hands,

    Divide into separate balls.
    You can use right now, by rolling out onto floured waxpaper.
    or refrig a bit.. before rolling .

    You can use flour to roll this out plus put flour on your rolling pin.
    and it won't get tough.

    makes enough for two 8-9 " pies.

    Hint: lightlywet the surface you are laying the waxpaper on, will keep it from slipping around.then flour the top,
