Recipe for pie crust:
4 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup H20
With a fork, mix together first four ingredients. In a separate dish, beat remaining ingredients. Combine the 2 mixtures, stirring with a fork until all ingredients are moistened. Then, with hands, mold dough in a ball.
Chill at least 15 mins before rolling into desired shape. Dough can be left in the refrig. up to 3 days. Or, it can be frozen until ready to use. Makes 2 9" double-crust pies and one 9" shell.
Note: Dough will remain soft in the refrig. and can be taken out and rolled at once.

Hi, I was going through some saved blog posts & realized I hadn't gotten any email from this blog in quite a while. I checked the blog to make sure you were still active then tried to subscribe by email again but it says I'm already signed up. I wonder if you might know why I'm not receiving email. I really love vintage recipes esp. hand written ones. I'd really like to receive your blog posts if you can help. Thanks
The email subscription program is handled by Google/Blogger, there's no real way I can adjust anything on my end - but I will send in a support ticket and see what they have to say.
