Time 15m

Yield 2 pie crust, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar and salt with fingers or fork till corse mill.
  • Combine two mixtures with fingers or fork just until barely moistened. If you over combine you will make it tough and lose flakiness.
  • 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.
  • Flour surfaces before rolling out.
