Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cup(s) shortening (lard would have been used back in the day)
  • 3 tablespoon(s) sugar (when using crust for a savory pie, I use a little less sugar)
  • 2 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1 - egg
  • 1/2 cup(s) water

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, shortening, sugar, and salt. Blend together with a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the egg with water. Blend into flour mixture.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use. NOTE: I form a ball(s) and then pat it into a disk shape and wrap in plastic wrap.
