How to Make Perfect Pie Crust No Fail
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup Crisco shortening (cold and cut into cubes), and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 6 tablespoons ice water, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc at a time to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer to your pie plate.
- Bake according to your pie recipe instructions. Enjoy incredibly flaky crust every single time!
