This is a savory pie crust that works great for Tourtiere (Meat Pies).

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups flour, plus extra for work surface
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-3/4 cups shortening
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/2 cup ice water
Instructions:In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut shortening in, until pieces are about the size of a pea. Add egg, vinegar, and ice water. Work mixture into a soft, cohesive dough ball. Divide in half, and put one half aside for another pie (or freeze). Cut other dough mass in half. On a work surface dusted with flour, roll out bottom and top crusts. Yield: 2 two-crust pies
