Mama’s No-Fault/Never
Fail Pie Crust
5 cups general-purpose flour
(non-self-rising)
1¾ cups shortening
1 cup water (but you won’t use it all!)
1 egg 1
Tbsp Sugar 1 Tbsp Vinegar
Cut the shortening into the flour with a
fork or pastry cutter until well combined and you see no small pieces of
shortening. Break the egg into a liquid
measuring cup and then add enough water to total 1 cup. Add sugar and vinegar to water/egg and mix well
until sugar is dissolved. Add the liquid
mixture to the flour mixture and mix by hand (literally) until you have a
uniform mass. Roll into log and cut into
five equal sections. Place each section
into a ziplock bag and place into a freezer for up to a year! Follow pie directions to cook the pie.
1 section
= 1 pie top (or bottom)!
