Never Fail Pie Crust

2 cup flour
1 cup shortening
1 tsp salt

Cut shortening into flour and salt

Add to above mixture:
1 beaten egg
2 tbl water
2 tbl lemon juice (1/2 of lemon)

Roll tin - bake at 400

Mom had this recipe I copied but haven't used before this weekend. I used it for a pie crust to make Kelley's quiche (which was yummy, thanks Kelley!) and it worked well. I baked the extra with cinnamon sugar on it for about 7 minutes, until it was just starting to turn brown. It's a more moist and thicker than most pie crusts I've made before. I'll probably use it again espeically next time I make quiche.
