Oil in pie crust? No wonder she doesn't like it. Some people swear by
lard, but I get lots of raves about my pie crust and I always use Crisco.
The recipe is right on the box... Sift together 2 cups flour and 3/4
tsp. salt, cut in 1 cup Crisco just until there are small chunks of
shortening. Beat together one egg 1 tblsp. vinegar and 2 Tblsp. cold
water and stir into the flour/shortnening. Cut in half, form small balls
and refrigerate for an hour before rolling.
