Flaky Pie Crust

My Mother in law is amazing at making pie crusts! I don't know how she does it and I wish I knew how to make pies as well as she does. My favorite has to be her strawberry pie. Here is an awesome pie crust recipe I've used for YEARS! My mother in law recommends using butter shortening.

3 Cups Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 cup shortening
1 egg beaten
1 TBS vinegar
1/4 cup Ice water

Mix flour and salt together and fluff a bit. Cut shortening into flour mixture using a fork or pastery cutter until flour looks like small peas. Mix together egg, vinegar and ice water and slowly combine together (I don't always use ALL the water mixture in flour depending on humidity)

This makes
2 Pie shells
1 Pie crust with top
4 personal size pies (As I found out today)

Bake as directed on your pie recipe or if there isn't one bake at 400 for about 25 minutes and check on it until golden brown.
