What's not to love about this really good and flaky pie crust?! It came together so easy. I made a pecan pie to enjoy with this crust - the crust really made this pie!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c all-purpose flour
1 3/4 c shortening (lard would have been used back in the day)
3 Tbsp sugar (when using crust for a savory pie, I use a little less sugar)
2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 c water

Steps:

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