Pie Crust

This is an old standby pie crust recipe made with shortening.  Often I use part lard.  

Pie Crust

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 cups shortening
1 egg
1 tsp vinegar
5 T water

Directions

Mix flour, salt and sugar together.  Mix in shortening with a fork or pastry blender, until crumbly.

Beat egg, vinegar and water together with a fork.  Add to flour mixture.

Do not overmix, it makes it tough.
