Pie Crust

Makes top and bottom.

2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 cup butter or Crisco
1/2 cup ice water (You probably won't use it all.  Maybe half.)
1 egg yoke

Sift flour and salt together in a bowl.  Add butter or crisco and blend with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the texture of coarse meal.  Add water, a tablespoon at a time until dough is moistened.  Stir until mixture firms a loose ball.
