Mindy's Pie Crust

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups shortening
• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 5 tbsp ice-cold water
• 1 egg (beaten)

Directions:

• When measuring the flour spoon it into the measuring cup then level off with a knife.
• Cut shortening into flour and salt with a pastry knife.
• Pour in lemon juice, ice water, and beaten egg.
• Mix with a fork from bottom to top until dough barely sticks together.
• Divide into two balls.
• Place one ball between two pieces of wax paper and roll out to 2" larger than the size of the pie pan.
• Fold crust into quarters, place in pie pan with point in center and unfold.
• Trim and crimp crust for one-crust pie, or fill and repeat rolling steps with second ball of dough for two-crust pie, turning bottom edges of crust up over the top crust and crimping.
• For baked one-crust pie shell, pierce crust on bottom and sides with a fork and bake at 475° until light brown, 5-8 minutes.
