INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups Crisco Shortening
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup water

DIRECTIONS

• Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut-in the shortening with a fork or cutting tool.
• In a separate bowl mix vinegar, egg, and water. Add it to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until moistened. Use your hands to mold into 4 equal balls. Freeze those not to be used now.
• To Make Pie Crust: Flour your surface and roll the crust starting from the middle and moving out, till it’s about 2 inches larger than the size of your pie dish. Try to work quickly and handle it as little as possible so it doesn't get tough. Gently roll your dough around your rolling pin and lay it in the pan.
• Unroll the crust, and gently fit it in-place, don’t pull or tug on the crust. Use a knife to trim the uneven edges, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the overhang under on the edge of your pan. Then use your fingers to pinch the edges for a decorative finish.
