  1. Pie Crust
  2.  
  3. 3 cups flour
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup lard
  6. 1 egg, beaten
  7. 5 tablespoons water
  8. 1 tablespoon vinegar
  9.  
  10. Combine 3 cups flour, salt and lard in a bowl and cut together with a fork, make sure to break up any large chunks until there’s nothing larger than a pea. (Small pieces that stick together are fine.) Do not over mix, only get it cut in well enough that there are no more large chunks.
  11.  
  12. Beat egg with a fork in a small bowl, add water and vinegar. Add liquids to the previous mixture and mix well by hand until you can form it all together into a ball. Don’t over mix here either, using an electric mixer on either step here or over mixing will ruin the flakiness of the crust.
  13.  
  14. This recipe makes enough for 5 single crust pies or 2 double crust pies. Extra crust can be refrigerated or frozen for later use.
