Ingredients:  
3 cups flour (don't sift)
1 1/3 cups shortening (I always use butter flavor shortening)
1 egg
6 Tbsp cold water
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Directions:
Cut the shortening into the flour and salt. Beat the egg into a cup, then add water and vinegar. Using your hands blend all the ingredients together. This only needs to be blended together with as little mixing as you need.
Tip: If you break the egg into the cup that you will be using to measure the shortening first, the shortening will come out clean. This should make at least 2 double crusted pies or more. Bake at 375º until golden brown.
