How to Make Amish Never Fail Pie Crust

1. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
2. Cut in 1 cup Crisco shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of shortening.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 6 tablespoons ice water, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, mixing gently with a fork until a soft dough just begins to form. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring together into a smooth ball. Avoid kneading.
6. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 1 week).
7. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and use to create your favorite pie, turnovers, or hot pockets!
