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.

This Moroccan-style stew with ground lamb was inspired by the wonderful spices and flavors used in Moroccan cuisine. We like to double the recipe and freeze one portion for later. We typically serve the stew with warm bread and a salad.
