Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) butter
1 egg
1 TBL distilled white vinegar
5 TBL cold water
For the Perfect Pie Crust: Combine the flour, salt, shortening, and butter in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, gradually work it all together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg with a fork and add it to the mixture, along with the vinegar and the cold water. Stir it all together until it comes together, adding another tablespoon or two of cold water if it needs the moisture. Form the mixture into three balls and wrap them in individual plastic bags. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer. Remove them from the freezer 30 minutes before you need them.
