A good basic pie crust.
by DiB's
40 min | 10 min prep
SERVES 4 , 4 single or two double crusts
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 3/4 cups vegetable shortening
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup ice water
- Place flour, sugar and salt in a medium/large bowl.
- Add the shortening and"cut" in until the mixture is crumbly and there are no big lumps of fat.
- (use forks, two knives or a pastry cutter-pea size crumbs please) In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, water and egg.
- Slowly add to flour mixture with a fork just until all ingredients are coming together and begin to form a ball. (At this point I press together to make sure dough is holding together).
- Divide dough into fourths.
- Wrap each one in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for up to 6 months.
