Jean's (never fail) pie crust

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1½ cup Spry; *see note
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Vinegar
5 tablespoons Water

Directions

*Bill's Note: Spry is a brand of shortening long gone from the market shelves. Substitute your favorite shortening.

Mix flour, salt and shortening with blender, leave fairly coarse. Beat egg, vinegar and water. Add to flour mixture a little at a time. Toss with fork until all is added. Quickley form three firm balls of dough and roll on a pastry cloth or between sheets of waxed paper.

HINT FOR AN EXTRA GOOD PIE CRUST: When making pie crust substitute orange juice for water. This gives the crust an extra added flavor.
