Homemade Pie Crust

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Thanksgiving is one of the most fun holidays to cook for! Rolls, gravy, stuffing, turkey, pies! 

Pies are my favorite thing to bake for thanksgiving. We use my grandma’s pie crust recipe, which has never failed us! 

What you’ll need 

2 cups flour 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

3/4 cups butter or margarine 

(Or you can do half and half) 

1 tablespoon vinegar

3 tablespoons water

1 egg 

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. 

Using your finger tips, cut in the butter/margarine. 

In a little bowl, mix the water, vinegar and egg. 

Pour the egg liquid into the flour/butter mix little by little. Stir with a fork until all the flour comes together.

Using your hands, squeeze the dough. 

DO NOT KNEAD IT! 

Once the dough is smooth, you’re ready to roll out for your pies. 

When rolling this dough out, use lots of flour. 

Remember, the more you work the dough, the tougher your crust will be. 

This recipe will make three to four pie crusts, depending on how thick you roll out your crust.
