Never Fail Pie Crust

Never Fail Pie Crust

This "never fail" pie crust came from an old cookbook - it is incredibly flaky and tender, and the bottom of the crust stays sturdy! It's very easy to work with.

3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
5 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vinegar

Cut shortening into flour and salt with the Old Country Kitchenware Mixing Fork. Make a well in the center and blend egg, water and vinegar. Mix into the flour just until flour is all moistened. This is an easy crust to handle and can be re-rolled without toughening. It also keeps in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Makes 2 double crust.

I just found your site and I love the pans and utensils. I am 80 years old and I was raised using all these in my Mother’s kitchen. I have wished for that little spatula for many years no and thank you folks for bringing it back. When will the utensil set be back in stock?
