Momma's Pie Crust Recipe

This recipe is from Momma Sue Asher :) Her pie crust is light and flaky and I have heard people rave over it for as long as I can remember. Thanks, Mom.

Email from Mom:
The recipe is from your great-gramma Ward, Granny's mom.

Flaky Double Pie Crust

3 cups flour

1&1/2 cups shortening (I use the sticks of butter flavored Crisco)

1/2 tsp salt

5 Tablespoons cold water

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1 egg

Just mix together the flour, shortening, and salt until crumbly.

Add rest of ingredients and chill for at least an hour or two. Lots of times I make it the day before and let it frig overnight.

This makes at least a double crust, so if you want to make a couple of double crust pies, just double the recipe and you usually have enough left over for some single crust pies.

Have a Delectable Day!
