Pie crust

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 egg
3 Tbsp. milk


Mix on low in mixer. Divide in half. Roll out with flour. (I usually roll it out on plastic wrap so it's easier to pick up and place in pie plate/tin.)

This recipe makes both top and bottom crust, so half all ingredients (except the egg) to make only the bottom for pies that don't require a top.

Bake at 375F. for 20 minutes or until it starts to turn brown on edges.
