Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
3 cups Flour
1 1/4 cups Shortening
1 tsp Salt
1 Egg
5 1/2 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Work the Flour, Shortening, and Salt:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shortening, and salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the mixture until it becomes very fine and crumbly.
  2. Prepare the Wet Mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, water, and vinegar together until well combined. This mixture will add moisture and binding to the crust.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Pour the wet mixture into the well.
    • Gently blend the wet and dry ingredients together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as it may result in a tough crust.
  4. Divide the Dough:

    • Divide the dough into four equal portions. Each portion will be enough for one crust, making a total of four crusts.
  5. Form the Crusts:

    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish.
    • Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, gently pressing it into place.
  6. Assemble Your Pie:

    • Fill the pie crust with your desired filling, whether it’s the famous Vinegar Pie or any other delicious creation.
    • Follow the baking instructions for your chosen pie recipe, ensuring the crust is baked to golden perfection.
  7. Enjoy the Tradition:

    • Serve slices of pie topped with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for the perfect finishing touch.
    • Share the joy of this time-honored recipe with family and friends, keeping the tradition alive for generations to come.
  8. Bonus Tip:

    • This crust pairs perfectly with the Vinegar Pie recipe, enhancing its unique flavor profile. It’s the same crust recipe that my great-grandmother used, ensuring authenticity and nostalgia in every bite.

Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or simply craving a comforting dessert, this Vinegar Pie Crust is sure to delight your taste buds and warm your heart with memories of days gone by. Enjoy the magic of homemade goodness with every slice! 🥧✨
