Recipe Introduction


"Here's my mother's recipe..."


List of Ingredients




3 c flour
1-1/2 c shortening (she told me she's been using 1 c crisco and 1/2 c butter)
1 T salt

In a separate bowl beat together:
1/3 c water
1 egg
1 T vinegar (plain white)


Recipe



Mix flour and salt (sifting optional), cut in fat until you get that small crumb consistency (or do it in processor)


Add egg mixture to flour mix, blend well, and chill. Let sit out about 15 minutes before rolling out.


Mom says if the dough starts to break up while you're rolling, just ball it back up and start over.

Makes 2 double or 4 single crusts
