The ingredients sound odd, but this does make a great flaky pastry crust for pies. Ingredients:
4 cups unsifted flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 3/4 cups shortening (i prefer chilled butter) or 1 3/4 cups butter (i prefer chilled butter) |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. Mix flour, sugar and salt with fingers or fork till corse mill.
2. Combine two mixtures with fingers or fork just until barely moistened. If you over combine you will make it tough and lose flakiness.
3. If it looks under stirred and falls apart then you're there! Tightly wrap it in plastic wrap (it will continue to combine by itself while wrapped) and chill for half hour.
4. Flour surfaces before rolling out.
