Easy Pie Crust

    Easy Pie Crust
  4 c all-purpose flour
  1 3/4 c shortening (also known as lard, Crisco, etc.)
  3 T sugar
  2 tsp salt (again, I used sea salt)
  1 egg
  1/2 c + 1 tsp cold water

Directions
  In a cup or small bowl, beat egg into cold water. Chill. In a large bowl, cut together dry ingredients & shortening until crumbly. Stir in egg-water & blend thoroughly. Turn out onto LIGHTLY floured surface. Knead for desired consistency. Roll out dough to pan size.


  *This quick & easy-to-make recipe will make a whole pie (bottom & top crust), unless you are using an extremely large baking dish. Good for deep dish pies, also.
  *This is the pie crust recipe used in Poor Ol' Kayla's Chicken Pot Pie & other recipes that can be found on this site.
