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