Pie Crust - ask and you shall receive...

This is my Mom and Grandmother's recipe for pie crust. It's perfect.

INGREDIENTS
4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of Crisco
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup of water
1 tablespoon of lemon juice

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and Crisco. Blend together with a pastry blender until crumbly. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, water and lemon juice. Add to flour mixture. Mix with a fork just until blended. Chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour. Remove and divide into 4 sections. Place each round in a freezer bag and press into a circle. Freeze for up to 6 months. (Or use immediately, of course!)
