This recipe makes a sweet dough that is perfect for fruit pies or tarts. A bit of sugar, an egg and vinegar make this dough different from the traditional, but the end result is pastry that is manageable and flaky. Try adding a bit of lemon zest if you 're feeling adventurous.

Vinegar and Egg Crust

This is a very flaky and very tasty prize-winning pie crust that mixes up nicely, but it is a bit tricky to roll out. So if you have a pastry cloth and a rolling pin, you 'll need them. Or try rolling this dough between lightly-floured sheets of waxed paper. This recipe yields one double-crust pie. 

Sweet Short Pastry

Sugar, butter and a dash of vanilla are added to the flour and chilled shortening, so this wonderful pastry is much like a sweet shortbread cookie. It 's perfect for cherry or other fruit fillings. This recipe yields one 9-inch crust.

This recipe calls for lard, making this crust the most tender and flaky. The shortening is cut into the flour, and then spoonfuls of a mixture of ice water, egg and vinegar are worked in. The dough is then formed into a ball and rolled out on a floured board.
