Nana's Pastry

  • 5 cups of flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 lb Crisco
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vinegar 

Mix the salt and the flour thoroughly.  Cut up crico and add to flour, mix it with a knife until crumbly.   Mix together 1 beaten egg, 1 tbsp of vinegar and cold water to equal 1 cup in total.  Toss the liquid into the flour mixture with a fork.  Divide into 5 ball equal sized balls.  Each on makes one pie crust.  Can be frozen in individual small ziplock bags.

Rachel's Lessons Learned: Overworking/over mixing pastry is bad news, so is forgetting to add the salt :)
