3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups shortening
1 egg, beaten
5 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon vinegar
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or fingertips, cut in shortening until well-blended. In a 1-cup liquid measure, combine egg, water and vinegar. Add all at once to the flour mixture, blending with a spoon or fork until flour is moistened. Divide evenly in 3 pieces. Pat out 1 piece on a lightly floured surface or between 2 pieces waxed paper. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough to a 10-inch circle. Carefully transfer to an 8-inch pie plate. Repeat with remaining dough or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 weeks or freeze.
