Favorite Pie Crust

2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
1 egg
1/4 c. cold water
1 Tbs. vinegar

Sift flour and salt into large bowl.  Cut in the shortening, using a pastry cutter, until you have coarse crumbs.  Do not over mix.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the water and vinegar.

Slowly add the liquid to the flour mixture while "fluffing" with a fork until all the dry ingredients are moistened and starting to clump together.  Gently shape into a ball.  Store covered in the fridge if not using immediately.  You can also freeze to use later.
