Vinegar And Egg Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Mix egg, water, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Pour into flour all at once and blend with a fork until dough forms into a ball. Divide into 3 equal-sized rounds.
• Wrap with plastic and chill in a refrigerator until ready to prepare.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until pea-sized.
• Beat together egg, vinegar and water. Mix liquid with flour mixture, using a fork, until mixture forms a ball (Note: add liquid one tablespoon at a time. You probably will not use all of it.)
• Roll out on lightly floured pastry cloth with cloth covered roller.
• Brush the crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar before baking.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• In a small bowl, mix together water, egg, and vinegar. Pour into lard mixture and stir until dough is thoroughly moistened and forms a ball. Divide into 4 portions and wrap tightly. Use dough within three days or freeze.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, with a pastry cutter, gradually work the Crisco into the flour for about 3 or 4 minutes until it resembles a coarse meal. In a small bowl, beat an egg with a fork and then pour it into the flour/shortening mixture. Add 5 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir together gently until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Separate the dough into thirds. Form 3 evenly sized balls of dough and place each dough into a large Zip Loc bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (about 1/- inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using it immediately it's still a good idea to put in the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes. On a floured surface roll the dough, starting at the center and working your way out. (Sprinkle some flour over top of the dough if it's a bit too moist.) If the dough is sticking to the counter top use a metal spatula and carefully scrape it up and flip it over and continue rolling until it's about 1/2 inch larger in diameter than your pie pan. With a spatula, lift the dough carefully from the surface of the counter into the pie pan. Gently press the dough against the corner of the pan. Go around the pie pan pinching and tucking the dough to make a clean edge.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the salt and flour.
• With a pastry blender, cut in cold shortening until the size of peas.
• In a small cup, beat egg with a fork, add in the vinegar and water; whisk until well blended.
• Add the water/egg mixture gradually to the flour mixture.
• Shape into ball.
• Refrigerate 1 or more hours.
• Roll out dough, use for 2 (8" pie crust) OR 1 large deep dish pie crusts.

Steps:

• Work flour, shortening and salt until very fine.
• Beat egg, water and vinegar together.
• Make a little well in the mixture, add liquid and blend.
