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
- ½ cups all-purpose flour: 2 piece
- salt: 0.25 tsp
- shortening: 1 cup
- water: 0.25 cup (cold)
- egg: 1 piece
- distilled white vinegar: 1 Tbsp

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