Flake Pie Crust

4 cups flour
1 3/4 cup shortening, lard, or coconut oil
1 Tblsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 Tblsp. Apple Cider Vinegar (You can use white vinegar, but I prefer apple cider in baking)
1 egg
1/2 cup cold water
Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening, lard, or coconut oil
Add liquids and then chill for at least 15 minutes.  Take out dough and divide into four equal balls.  Dough can be frozen to use later.  Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.

If you’re not baking today, take unbaked dough ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Toss in freezer. When ready to use, thaw in fridge overnight or on the counter for a few hours. Lightly flour surface, flatten dough ball with hand, and then roll to desired thinness.
