    Pie crust is a tricky thing to make properly, just the right flakiness
    without being too dry or grainy is the idea. In Europe, puff pastry is
    easily available in the freezer case in little squares that can be assembled
    into a wonderful piecrust. If you can't find it in your store, consider
    making my friend Judy's Piecrust. There are some very fine cooks out there
    in the Rocky Mountains, and without further ado, here is her recipe.

    :Pie Crust #2

    3 cups flour
    1 and 1/2 tsp salt
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 and 1/2 cups butter
    1/2 cup cold water
    1 egg, beaten
    1 tablespoon vinegar

    Combine sifted flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.
    Cut the butter into the mix with a pastry blender until
    the consistency is fairly coarse, with lumps the size
    of peas.
    Stir and work in the egg, water and vinegar.
    Roll the dough out on a floured board.
    Line the pie pan with dough, flute the edges, pour in
    the filling and then bake.

    For 2 uncovered pies, or a top and bottom for one pie.
