I got this from Mamie a while back, and it work's great for me. PASTRY, to make 2 9" pie crusts 2 1/2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour 2 T. granulated sugar 1 t. salt 1 1/2 c. shortening 1 large egg, well beaten. 2 T. cider vinegar and enough water to make 1/2 cup of liquid Cut shortening into flour, sugar, salt mixture. Add liquid slowly and blend till dough just comes together in a ball. Do not over mix or add ""too much liquid"" Roll into desired shape. I always use a cold rolling pin. Here's a good recipe for apple pie to go in it. (: Diesel Dutch Apple Pie One deep dish pie crust or Graham Cracker Pie Crust 5-1/2 cup's of sliced apples.
