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.
