Most Incredible No Fail Pie Crust image

This is absolutely the best pie crust I have ever used. It never fails me and always comes out flaky and perfect. This recipe is enough for 2 - 9" crusts.

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Pie

Time 10m

Yield 2 9-inch pie crusts, 8-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups flour
1 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
5 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut together flour, shortening and salt until it resembles small peas.
  • Combine the egg, water and vinegar and gradually add to flour mixture.
  • Stir just until moistened and a soft dough forms.
  • Divide into 2 disks.
  • Wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Roll out and use with your favorite pie recipe!

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create a flaky crust. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and make the crust tough.
  • Work quickly: Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help to prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to get a clean cut when you roll out the dough.
  • Don't overfill the pie: Overfilling the pie will make it difficult to seal the crust and will cause the filling to bubble over.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature: Baking the pie at a high temperature will help to create a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Making a perfect pie crust is not difficult, but it does take a little practice. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of success. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a perfect pie crust every time.
