My family has used this recipe for years, it has even won First Prize at our local fair, many times. I hated to post this but I could not find another like it. I use Vanilla Cream Pie/Chocolate/Coconut/Banana Cream Pudding for the filling, every holiday :) Note: I just tried this crust with Chicken Pot Pie and ummmm just the best This will make 3 each 8 crust or 2 ea 9 crusts. When I take the time to make crust, I make extra, I roll it out between 2 sheets of wax paper and place in the large tupperware (about 2 high) flat bowl and place in freezer...then when I want to make a pie, I can do so in a hurry!
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons water, ice cold

Directions:
1. Using a pastry cutter, or fork and knife, combine flour shortening to resemble small peas OR do what I do, using my Kitchen Aid Mixer, mix until mixture resembles small peas. Do NOT over Mix.
2. In a separate bowl, mix balance of ingredients.
3. Add egg mixture to shortening and flour, until mixture forms together.
4. DO NOT over mix.
