Maddox pie crust recipe. 2 1/2 c flour 1 c shortening (crisp) 1 t salt 1 whole egg beaten well 1 T vinegar 1/2 c ice cold water!!! Cut shortening into flour and salt until it's almost cornmeal looking. Whip eggs until fluffy. Add eggs to vinegar than add to flour mixture. Last add ice cold water. Dough should be cold before rolling. Roll a chunk slightly larger than a baseball to 1/4 inch. For a fruit filled pie let alone. For a shell filled pie poke holes in bottom and sides with fork. Cut excess pie crust and fold under and pinch around the edge decoratively.
