Pie Crust

This recipe is so easy and versatile. If you are using it for actual pie, sprinkle a little sugar onto it before filling it. If you are doing a double crust, dust the top crust with sugar also.
-3 c. flour
-1 1/4 c. crisco
-1 egg
-6 T. cold water
-1 T. vinegar
-1/8 t. salt
Mix flour and crisco together with fork until it has come together in coarse crumbles. Make a well in the middle. To do this, use your hands and scoot the flour mixture to the sides of the bowl, leaving a hole in the middle (so it will be funnel shaped). Beat egg in the hole. Add water, vinegar, and salt. Beat together. Some of the flour mix will probably start falling in there- that's okay! Then, mix all together until just combined. Don't overmix. Overmixing can cause it to be tough.
-Makes 2 crusts
