List of Ingredients

3 cups flour
1-1/4 cups shortening, *
1 tsp. salt
1 egg, well beaten
5 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. vinegar







Recipe


Cut shortening into flour until finely crumbled and add salt. Combine egg, water and vinegar. Make a well in flour and add wet ingredients all at once. Blend with a fork until flour is moist and doughy. To make a prebaked pie shell, make a foil form. After you put your crust in pan, set foil form in and fill with dried beans. Bake 15 minutes, then lift out form and beans carefully and continue to bake crust until golden brown.
Note: *Blue Bonnet margarine works well in place of shortening... easy to measure. This dough can be rerolled without being tough, so you can use scraps to make another crust or to cover a pot pie.
