Never Fail Pie Crust
 
Makes 5 crusts
 
4 cups all purpose flour (lightly spooned in a cup)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 3/4 cups shortening (not lard or butter)
1 egg
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
 
Mix all ingredients well and divide into 5 balls. Flatten with hands (so it looks like a giant hamburger) and refrigerate till cold if using right away. Or freeze for later use.
 
This dough can be re-rolled and it won't get tough. Freeze in a freezer bag and you always have a pie crust on hand.
 
Make and apple or turkey pie, share it with your friends and tell them about the book club. Thanks! Enjoy!
