Ingredients Nutrition
Perfect Pie Crust
- 4 cups unsifted flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
Combine in bowl and add
- 1 3⁄4 cups shortening (I prefer chilled butter) or 1 3⁄4 cups butter (I prefer chilled butter)
In small bowl combine
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 large egg
- 1⁄2 cup cold water
Directions
- 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.
