When I made a pie for some farming relatives in Wisconsin, they laughed at my crust. I guess they thought it was REALLY TERRIBLE. It was. And dear Great Aunt Dorothy bestowed her fabulous pie crust recipe to me on the spot.
Here it is:
This recipe makes two double crusts.
Combine:
3 cups white flour (360 grams)
1 and ½ cups (3 sticks) butter, but lard is great too if you like it.
1 tsp. Salt
Add:
1 egg, well beaten
4 Tbsp water (or a little more if needed)
1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
Blend, divide into 4 balls and store. Freezing is okay.
