3 c. flour
1 1/4 c. shortening or 1 c. lard
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 egg, well beaten
5 tbsp. water
1 tsp. salt

Cut shortening into flour and salt. Combine egg, vinegar, and water. Pour liquid into flour mixture, all at one time. Blend with a spoon just until all the flour is moistened. This is an easy crust to handle and can be re-rolled.

Yields 2 crusts for 9 inch pie.
