Vinegar and Egg Crust

Ingredients

• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups shortening
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
• 5 tablespoons ice water

Directions

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until pea-sized.

Beat together egg, vinegar and water. Mix liquid with flour mixture, using a fork, until mixture forms a ball (Note: add liquid one tablespoon at a time. You probably will not use all of it.)

Roll out on lightly floured pastry cloth with cloth covered roller.

Brush the crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
