PIE CRUST - MRS. QUINN'S 'NO FAIL' image

Categories     Apple

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound chilled vegetable shortening or lard, cut up
1 cup cold water
1 egg
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix flour and salt in a large shallow bowl. Cut in shortening using a fork or pastry cutter, or even your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger bits the size of peas. Form the mix into a mound and make a well in the centre. Stir together cold water and egg in a small bowl and add to the middle of the mound, along with the vinegar. With a wooden spoon, mix just until the dough begins to clump together and most of the loose flour has been gathered up into the dough. Divide into five equal-sized balls, then flatten into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill dough at least one hour before using. © Copyright (c) The Montreal Gazette Original source article: An easy apple pie recipe that delivers delicious results Read more: http://www.montrealgazette.com/FOOD+WINE+Recipes/932955/story.html#ixzz28FA3G4MU
