Egg Pastry for Deep Dish Pie

Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Combine water, egg and vinegar and add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened.

Shape dough into a ball and chill.

Divide dough into 2 equal portions.

Roll each portion to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use for making a 2-crust deep dish pie (such as Upside-Down Apple Pie) or for 2 single crust, deep dish pie shells.
