Most Incredible No Fail Pie Crust (I only made one pie so I halved the recipe)
What you need:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup shortening
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 5 to 7 tbsp. cold water
• 1 tsp. vinegar

Directions:

Cut together flour, shortening and salt until it resembles peas. Combine the egg, water and vinegar in a separate bowl.

Slowly add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened and a soft dough forms.

Divide into 2 disks, wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. When ready, roll it out.

Fit into a pie dish and use with your favorite pie!

And now for the filling:

• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 2/3 cup sweet condensed milk
• 2 eggs

Try and get all the pulpy stuff out.

Bake 1 hour at 350.

Scoop out pumpkin and mash.
