Perfect Pie Shells

5 ½ cups flour

2 tsp salt

1 lb shortening (1 block)

1 tbsp vinegar

1 egg, slightly beaten

water

Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2

knives until the mixture resembles small peas. In a measuring

cup combine vinegar and egg. Add enough water to make the

liquid equal to 1 cup. Gradually stir liquid into solids. Add

only enough liquid to make dough cling together. Gather into

a ball and divide into 6 portions. Refrigerate or freeze portions

you are not using right away. Roll out each portion on a lightly

floured surface. If dough is sticking, chill for 1-2 hours. Transfer

dough to pie plate. Trim and flute shells and bake according to

your pie recipe.

We thank all the ones who sent in those great recipes
