Instructions: Mom got this recipe from a country fair. The lady who made her pies with this always won first prize. I do not know the origin of this pie crust but I have seen it in many country cookbooks At the next fair Mom won first prize. The year after that Auntie Rivka entered the pie baking contest. Naturally.

With a pastry cutter (it does a better job than the mixer or a food processor) cut flour sugar baking powder and salt into the margarine.. Keep cutting until you have little balls the size of peanuts.

Break the egg into a separate dish. Check for blood spots. If the egg is clean pour the egg into a glass measuring cup. Beat the egg in the cup until foamy. Use a fork-a little fork. Add the vinegar. Stir. Add enough water to make one cup of liquid. Stir.

Pour the liquid into the flour mixture. Blend until you have a soft ball of dough.

Roll our the dough on a lightly floured pastry board.

This makes 4 or 5 pie crusts.

Line a 9 inch pie plate with the pastry dough.
