3 c. flour
1 tbsp. vinegar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. water
1 1/4 c. vegetable shortening (or home-rendered lard)
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. sugar
1 egg

Mix the flour, shortening, sugar and salt with a fork. Beat the egg, add water and vinegar and mix well. Combine the two mixtures a little at a time until all the dry ingredients are moist. Mold together with your hands.

Chill before rolling or refrigerate up to a week. (Can also be frozen.) Roll out and prick shells well before baking. This makes two double 9 inch pie crusts and one 9 inch shell.
