Grammie Vee's Never Fail Pie Crust

I tried a lot of pie crust recipes with total failure until my oldest daughter taught me to make this crust.  I have been making it for years now. The nutrition facts were made at Calorie Count!

Grammie Vee's Never Fail Pie Crust
makes three 2 crust pies

Ingredients:

2 Cups Shortening (I use butter)
5 cups Flour
1 Egg
1 Tsp Salt
Scant Cup of Milk

Directions:

Combine Shortening and flour until cornmeal consistency.

Break egg in a 1 cup measure. Beat egg slightly with a fork. Add salt.

Add enough milk to make one cup and mix with fork to dissolve salt.

Slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour/shortening mixture.

Mix gently with fork until fully incorporated/

Form into a ball and let rest for 1/2 an hour.

Divide into six sections and roll for the pie.

Notes:

This crust freezes well if you only make one or two pies.

    1. Annette, No, just divide the mass of dough into six pieces (a top and bottom for three pies), form into a ball, and seal up in an airtight ziplock bag. Thaw and then roll when you want a great pie!
