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.
