  • Bake, covered for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and pour off excess fat.
  • Cover with the crust, return to oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden and flaky.
  • Pie Crust:
  • In a medium bowl combine flour and salt.
  • Cut in shortenings until mixture is like coarse cornmeal.
  • Mix the eggs and vinegar together and, using a wooden spoon, stir into flour.
  • Add enough of the ice water so the dough just barely comes together.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead so dough holds together and can be rolled out.
  • This recipe will make enough dough for one 9 inch pie, top and bottom crust.
