Never Fail Pie Crust...

This one works every time...never a problem
and it freezes great.
Hint: don't over-work the dough.
3 cups all-purpose flour
a pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups Crisco (yes, use this brand only)
1 egg
1 T sugar
1 T vinegar
1/2 cup very cold water
Mix flour and salt. Cut in Crisco with a pastry blade until the size of medium peas. Mix egg, sugar, vinegar and water in a cup. Pour over flour mixture. Mix fast with a fork until it all sticks together. Put dough on a floured board and then walk away for at least 5 minutes. Dough needs to rest. Separarte into 3 sections. Roll each section out with rolling pin and then use in your pie. Makes 3 single crusts.
