Foolproof Pie Crust


Here's my families pie crust recipe!  It's always flaky.  You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days, or smoosh it into a ball and stick it in your freezer indefinitely.  Makes enough crust for 4-5 individual crusts!

4 cups flour
1 3/4 cup shortening
1 TBSP Sugar
1/2 cup cold water
2 tsp. salt
1 TBSP vinegar
1 egg

With fork or pastry blender mix flour, shortening, sugar and salt together. 
In separate bowl beat water, vinegar, and egg together.  Combine and mix thoroughly.  Mold into ball and chill 15 minutes in fridge before rolling out.
