Instructions: I can guarantee that the bottom crust will be as flaky as the top crust. Its a BIG hit around here! Try it, its SUPER flaky... Mix together the flour and salt; cut in the shortening until it resembles tiny peas. Add enough water to the egg to make 3/4 cup of liquid (I used COLD water). Add to the flour mixture and blend until dough holds together. The recipe didnt say to chill the dough but I did anyway.. habit. Not only is this crust SUPER FLAKY but its VERY easy to work with. Ive never achieved a finer crust. Try it, TRUST ME, its wonderful!

This recipe is suppose to make 3 double pie crusts, Im not sure. I got one double pie crust & made 12 small apricot tarts with the rest of it.
