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.

Baked Buffalo Wings
These baked Buffalo wings are super crispy without being fried. You can toss them in more hot sauce if you like them spicier! They take only 10 minutes to prep, but it's best if the wings are refrigerated for about an hour before baking so the coating is firm.
