Best Pie Crust

1. 1

   To make the crust, mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.

2. 2

   Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

3. 3

   Stirring with a fork, add just enough of the egg yolk mixture to moisten the dough so it holds together when pinched between the thumb and forefinger.

4. 4

   (You may not need all of the yolk mixture, or you may have to add a bit more water.)

5. 5

   Gather up into a thick disk and wrap in waxed paper.

6. 6

   Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
