This recipe is one for the ages. The crust is flaky and flavorful. Delicious for any kind of pie your heart desires. Makes enough for 4 8-inch pie crusts or about 3 9-inch crusts. Can be used for topping, lattice top, cut-outs, etc. Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 3/4 cups vegetable shortening |
3 tablespoons white sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 egg |
1/2 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl using a pastry cutter, mix flour, shortening, sugar and salt until crumbly.
2. In a separate bowl, mix egg and water. Add to flour mixture using the pastry cutter.
3. I have also used a food processor and a dough blade on pulse for each step.
4. Cover tightly with plastic and chill until ready to roll out.
