This no-fail pie crust is easy to make. I found this recipe years ago and have not used any other recipe since then. This dough freezes very well, and the recipe makes enough dough for three 9-inch pie crusts.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 0.25 cups cold water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Mix cold water, egg, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and blend with a fork until a ball of dough forms. Divide into three equal balls; flatten each ball into a disk. Wrap disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
