Pie Crust - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. Crisco shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
milk (see directions)
Preparation
-
Combine first three ingredients in a bowl.
Separate egg, place yolk in a 1 cup measuring cup and white in another small deep container.
Fill measuring cup with egg yolk with milk to make 1 cup and add to flour mixture.
Mix all ingredients well to form dough.
(I usually squish together with hands to be sure it's all well mixed.)
Place a handful of dough onto floured surface.
Work a little flour into dough so it isn't so sticky and roll with rolling pin to size of pie dish and thickness you want.
This takes patience and practice.
Recipe makes 2 to 3 two crust pies.
