Easy Pie Crust

I found this pie crust recipe and it is so easy to make. It takes so much better than the refrigerated ones at the store and is much easier to use since you don't have to unroll them!

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening (crisco)
3 cups flour
1 whole egg
5 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt

Directions
1. mix vegetable shortening and flour together in large bowl. Cut shortening into flour until small pellets form.
2. Beat egg and pour into flour mixture
3. Add water, vinegar and salt and stir together
4. Halve the dough into two balls and place in gallon ziploc bags
5. roll dough to flatten in bags and store in freezer (at least 15 minutes)
6. thaw 15 minutes before using.

I used these for a chicken pot pie. I put some melted butter on top before baking to make sure it looks golden!
