PERFECT PIE CRUST 
This dough is never tough!

4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 3/4 cups shortening (Crisco)
1 large egg
1 tbsp. white vinegar
1/2 cup water

Mix flour, salt and sugar with fork. Add shortening; mix until crumbly.

In small bowl beat together egg, vinegar and water; combine both mixtures.

Divide dough into 5 portions; shape into flat, round patties. Wrap in plastic (Saran) wrap and chill at least 1/2 hour, or freeze until needed.

Note: Do not use lard, oil, margarine or butter. Do not use self-rising flour.
