Categories: Bake-shoppe, Pies & past
Yield: 1 Servings

3 c Flour
1 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Spry; *see note
1 lg Egg
1 ts Vinegar
5 tb Water

*Bill's Note: Spry is a brand of shortening long gone from the market
shelves. Substitute your favorite shortening.

Mix flour, salt and shortening with blender, leave fairly coarse. Beat egg,
vinegar and water. Add to flour mixture a little at a time. Toss with fork
until all is added. Quickley form three firm balls of dough and roll on a
pastry cloth or between sheets of waxed paper.

HINT FOR AN EXTRA GOOD PIE CRUST:

When making pie crust substitute orange juice for water. This gives the
crust an extra added flavor.
