Grandma's Pie Crust

• 5 cups of All Purpose Flour
• 2 TBSP of Brown Sugar
• 2 TSP Salt

[sift these ingredients together]

Once sifted add:

• 1/2 lbs of Shortening
• 1/2 lbs of UNSALTED butter OR lard (whichever you prefer)

[Add to flour and blend it together with a pastry blender or other utensils to mash it in. Try to avoid using your hands as much as possible as heat is bad for pastry dough and you want to keep it as cool as possible so your body heat doesn't warm it up]

When blended, in a clean measuring cup you will then add:

• 2 large eggs
• 2 TBSP of white vinegar
• 1 cup COLD water to measure (AKA enough water on top of the eggs and vinegar to bring the total contents of the measuring cup to 1 Cup)

Do not overmix. When all ingredients are incorporated divide into 4-5 rounds and chill.
