How to Make Sure Thing Pie Crust
- Whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup cold shortening (vegetable shortening or lard) using a pastry blender or your fingers 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.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days in the refrigerator).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer to your pie plate.
- Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake according to your pie recipe's instructions. For a pre-baked crust, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
