Lovin' The Homestead
4 cups flour
1 3/4 cup shortening
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Teaspoons salt
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
1/2 cup water
Mix together first 4 ingredients. Beat remaining ingredients separately. Combine until moistened. Mold into ball. Chill at least 15 minutes. Dough can be stored in fridge 3 days or frozen.
Makes 2 9" double crust pies and 1 9" shell.
The less you mess with the dough, the better. I like this one because then you have left overs to freeze so you don't have to make it as often. Also, it was my grandma's recipe. My mom dead refuses to eat store-bought crust, she uses this recipe only.
