INGREDIENTS:

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1 whole egg

1 tablespoon vinegar

1/4 cup cold water

 

DIRECTIONS:

Sift flour and salt together.  Cut shortening into flour until it resembles coarse corn meal.

Beat egg and combine with vinegar and water.  Combine with flour mixture and blend well.  Fore best results, handle dough as little as possible.

For a baked pie shell: After building up fluted edge, prick pastry thoroughly to prevent puffing.
