My Aunt Lynns Pastry Recipe

	Silentc / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago This is my Aunt's pie crust, as written out for my mom who couldn't make pie crust to save her life. I said 4 for serving size, as it makes enough for 4 crusts or 2 double-crusted pies. It's not a sweet crust, so it works well for savory appetizer ... More Prep:15m Cook:45m Servings:4	Silentc

Ingredients

2 cups shortening

6 cups flour (all-purpose or cake & pastry)

2 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 egg beaten + 2 Tbsp white vinegar + water to equal 1 cup

Directions

In a big bowl, cut shortening with a pastry cutter. Add flour (sift if using all-purpose) and salt, small amounts at a time and cut into the shortening.

To dry ingredients, add water/ vinegar/ egg mixture slowly. Mix & cut until dough is crumbly. Do not mix until smooth or it will turn out like mom's (hard and heavy).

Refridgerate until chill, roll out thinly.

Makes enough for 2 double-crusted pies.
