3 c plain White Lily flour
1 beaten egg
1 c Crisco or butter
1 t salt
1 t vinegar
When it is the consistency of
corn meal. Add 5 T cold water and stir with a fork.
If the dough will form a ball,
divide into thirds and roll out each crust on floured
board. If the dough is still too dry, add more water 1 T at a time.
Try not to stir
with a fork any more than
