Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup shortening

1 tablespoon butter

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg, water and vinegar; stir into flour mixture until a ball forms.
Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry even with edge.
