NEVER FAIL PIE CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Place flour into large bowl (or deep roaster pan); use a large wooden spoon or spatula to get shortening out of can; work shortening into flour with your hands, until it is like coarse meal.
• 2. In a 1 cup measure, break one egg, then add 1 tblsp. vinegar, stir a little, then fill up with cold water to make cup measure. If making full recipe, do this THREE times. Add to the flour/shortening mixture. It will be sloppy wet but don't give up!
• 3. Using hands, mix until well combined, holds together and dough forms. For each crust, use a ball of dough the size of a baseball (9" crust). Place dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out.
• 4. If you are doing the full recipe and not using it all, make all dough into balls, wrap individually in plastic wrap and then put those into gallon-size freezer zip bag. I can get 6 balls in a bag. Will keep several months in freezer.
• 5. To use from frozen, just take out the desired number of balls and let set on counter for a while to soften. OR you can thaw in microwave, still wrapped in plastic, on LOW power for 30-45 seconds. Start at 30 sec, check it & add time as needed in 5 sec increments.
