Flaky Pie Crust

10 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • Perfect Pie Crust
  • 4 cups unsifted flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Combine in bowl and add
  • 1 3/4 cups shortening (I prefer chilled butter) or 1 3/4 cups butter (I prefer chilled butter)
  • In small bowl combine
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix flour, sugar and salt with fingers or fork till corse mill.
  2. 2
    Combine two mixtures with fingers or fork just until barely moistened. If you over combine you will make it tough and lose flakiness.
  3. 3
    If it looks under stirred and falls apart then you're there! Tightly wrap it in plastic wrap (it will continue to combine by itself while wrapped) and chill for half hour.
  4. 4
    Flour surfaces before rolling out.
