Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold butter
  • 6 tablespoons shortening
  • ¹/4 cup cold water
  • 1 beaten egg (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

Preparation

Mix flour, sugar, salt, butter, and shortening with a pastry blender till mixture is crumbly. Add water and 2 tablespoons of the beaten egg, and the vinegar. Stir until mixture comes together and no loose crumbs are left (fold it over on itself 2 or 3 times if necessary). Form into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

When ready to use, roll out onto a floured surface and place into pie plate. Brush edges with remaining beaten egg.

This recipe will make 1 deep-dish pie with enough dough left over to make decorative pieces, or 2 shallow pies.
