2 teaspoons salt
1 lb lard or 2 1/2 cups vegetable shortening
1 egg
water
Directions:
1. Mix first three ingredients until the texture resembles corn meal.
2. Beat one egg in a 1 cup measuring cup.
3. Fill cup with water to make 1 full cup.
4. Mix well, chill for 15 minutes.
5. Divide dough 5 ways.
6. Roll out the number of crusts you want to use on floured surface.
7. Place remaining dough and a bit of flour in individual gallon ziplock bags.
8. Roll out dough while it is in the bag and freeze.
9. You now have extra crust waiting for you!
