3 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup vegetable shortening |

1/2 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 425. Grease 9 glass pie pan.
2. In large bowl combine first 4 ingredients.
3. Using a pastry blender, cut shortening into mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add milk, egg, vanilla and chocolate chips to mixture lightly with a fork until forms a soft dough.
