Jean's Pie Crust


Jean is a co-worker who makes wonderful pies. And in my opinion the best pie crusts I've ever tasted.

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/8 cups Crisco
1 extra large egg
5 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vinegar

Instructions

Mix flour, salt and Crisco until crumbly.
Add egg, water and vinegar.
Work all ingredients just until they come together.
Divide into 4 flattened balls.
Roll out each section of dough thinly, to fit pie tin.

Yield: 2 double crust pies

Note: I have a hard time rolling out the dough thin enough for 4 crusts. I usually just get 3 crusts out of this recipe...but Jean does get four!
