Ingredients

  • 3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) margarine
  • 1/2 c. Crisco
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. white vinegar
  • 3 to 4 Tbsp. ice water

Method

  • In medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut in the margarine and shortening.
  • Keep working the flour and shortening until the mixture is rather grainy, like coarse cornmeal.
  • Mix the egg and vinegar together and, using a wooden fork, stir the mixture into the flour.
  • Mix enough of the ice water so that the dough barely holds together.
  • Place on a marble pastry board or a plastic countertop and knead for just a few turns, enough so that the dough holds together and becomes rollable.
  • Makes a top and bottom crust.
