The Perfect Crust

The Perfect Crust
what you need:

3cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup +2 tbs shortening
1 egg
1 tsp vinegar
5 tbs water

what you need to do:

Now get a bowl and add shortening, flour and salt and combine with your hands until you get what resembles fine crumbs.
Now get a small bowl and lightly beat the egg
Now add the vinager and water into the egg bowl
Now sprinkle the egg mixture onto the flour mixture
Now with a fork mix until you have a dough
Now rap in plastic and put in fridge for 30 min
Now roll out the dough ( this will make 2 9in pan pie crust for bottom AND top )

( for rolling out the dough what works for me is to use wax paper - put a few drops of water on the counter and put the wax paper over it so that it dose not move, now put the dough on the paper, now put the other paper on the dough and roll out your circle ... this is so far the easiest for me )

Now put one crust on the bottom of your pie pan and bake, i baked at 400 degrees for 15 min
Now fill with pie filling
Now put top crust on
Now poke a few holes for air to escape with a fork
Now sprinkle lightly with sugar
Now bake for amount directions have for your pie
