Another one of mom's recipes that I thought was perfect....until I discovered a trick to make it even better.

Categories     Pies

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c all purpose flour-from the freezer
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 c vegetable shortening
1/2 c water, warm
1 egg
1 tsp vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. PLACE YOUR FLOUR IN THE FREEZER THE NIGHT BEFORE. I know this may sound strange, but it is key in making this crust amazing!
  • 2. In a small bowl, beat the water, egg and vinegar together; set aside. Measure the flour in a large bowl; mix in salt.
  • 3. Cut the shortening into flour mixture until crumbly and add the wet ingredients. Mix well (I use my hands), divide into 4 and roll into balls. Roll out crust and make the pie of your liking!
