all purpose flour
⅓
cup
granulated sugar
2 1.2
tsp.

oz.
apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Combine flour and sugar.
Cut cold butter into chunks.
Add the butter and shortening into the flour/sugar mixture.
Cut-in or mix with restraint. Leaving bits of butter as large as peas.
In a liquid measuring cup mix together; vinegar, egg, and salt.
Add enough cold water to your egg mixture so the total volume equals 1 cup.
Stir or whisk egg mixture vigorously to blend well.
Pour liquids into flour/shortening mix.
Combine quickly, yet gently; so the butter remains in peas sized pieces.
Flatten dough into the shape of your finished product.
Wrap well in plastic and refrigerate.
Notes
For savory crusts; omit the sugar. This recipe makes a fabulous crust for potpies!
