How to Make Vinegar Pie Crust

  1. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 2 tbsp cold water, and 1 tbsp white vinegar.
  3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Gradually pour in the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
  5. Roll out each disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and fit into your pie plates.
  6. Bake according to your pie recipe instructions or blind bake for 15-20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) before adding your filling.
