Pie Crust

4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar (for fruit pies)
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup cold water
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons vinegar

Combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut shortening into flour mixture so that there are pieces of shortening the size of peas and some like meal. (Bigger pieces make the crust flaky and smaller pieces make it tender.)

Add remaining ingredients to the flour mixture and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut for you pie pan and bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
