My Favorite Vinegar Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups shortening
1 tablespoon white vinegar
5 tablespoons ice water (put water with ice in a bowl before you start cooking and spoon it out with a Tbsp. to measure)
1 egg

Preparation

Mix salt with flour.
With pastry cutter or fork and knife, cut shortening into flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure there are no large pieces left.
Add egg and knead in just until mixed.
Quickly add vinegar and ice water all at once.
Knead until dough is a cohesive, homogenous ball that just begins to pull away from sides. (Flour hands if necessary.).
Divide into four equal balls for immediate use or to freeze. If it's a warm day, you may need to chill the dough just a few minutes to make it easier to roll.
