Egg Pastry

I have used this for many diffrent types of pies. I finally found one my family likes!!

Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.

Using a pastry cutter , cut in shortening until until particles are the size of small peas.

In another bowl , combine egg , water and lemon juice.

Sprinkle over dry ingredients tossing and stirring with a fork until mixture is moist enough to hold together.

Divide in half.

Shape into 2 flat balls.

Roll.

Makes 1 8 or 9 inch 2-crust pie.
