Divine French Pasty Pie Crust

Ok so here is the crust recipe that I used in the Apple-Berry Pie recipe that I also have listed on the blog. It is another that is not my own but too good not to share! It is a sweet dough that is great for fruit pies!

Divine French Pastry Pie Crust

(Makes enough for two pies, or a top and bottom of a single pie)

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp white sugar
1 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp distilled white vinegar
5 tbsp water

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well and then cup in the shortening until mixture is like course meal.

In another smaller bowl combine egg, vinegar, and 4 tbsp water. Whisk together, then slowly add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork. Mix until dough forms a ball. Add one more tbsp of water if needed.

Allow dough to rest in refrigerator 10 minutes before rolling out
