Pie Crusts - MAKES 5!!!

Because its almost that time of year....   

Every September,  I make 5 pie crusts and pop them in the freezer for my pies during the fall.  (Once they're all gone, I return to Pillsbury!)  I love this recipe because it makes 5 and they can be easily frozen until I need them.    I got this recipe from my friend's mom several years ago.

5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups shortening
2 tsp vinegar
1 egg beaten lightly   (Put egg and vinegar in a 1 cup measure and add water to make 1 cup)

Mix flour, salt and shortening until crumbly. Ad cup of egg/vinegar/water and mix well.  (Don't be afraid to use your hands... it really makes the job much easier - and more fun!)  Divide into five equal balls.   To free the dough, wrap the dough-balls in wax paper and store them in a freezer bag.
