Perfect Pie Crust
(Women’s Day Magazine, in the 1970s)
4 Cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt (I reduced this from 2 t)
1 3/4 Cup shortening
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 large egg
Mix dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Mix vinegar and egg; mix this into dry ingredients; add water sparingly to allow the dough to come together. Separate into four balls and chill for 1/2 hour in the refrigerator. Roll out as usual. May be re-rolled.
