Dave Letterman's Mom - Flaky Pie Crust




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




3/4 c Shortening
2 c Flour
1 tb Salt
1 Egg yolk
1/4 c Cold milk
1 tb 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.
