Granny's pie crust

i got this from mother...so if it rambles or you find little hints and tips...they are hers. i just copied and pasted this one. this is the way granny makes her crust and it is wonderful and not difficult at all!

makes 4-5 crusts

4 Cups flour

1 Tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt

mix together and make well in center of bowl

1 beaten egg

1/2 Cup cold water

1 Tbs vinegar

mix together & set aside

13/4 Cups shortening

cut into dry ingredients

Add liquid

PS. rolls better if chilled

roll leftover into pie sized ball and freeze for later use.

keep it cold. keep what you are not actually working on in the fridge. use cold ingredients.

don't handle too much

the least amount of extra flour you work into it while rolling out the better. Too much flour which makes it too dry will make the crust crumbly not flaky.
