- Place flour, sugar and salt in a medium/large bowl.
- Add the shortening and"cut" in until the mixture is crumbly and there are no big lumps of fat. Use forks, two knives or a pastry cutter; pea size crumbs please.
- In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, egg and ice water.
- Slowly add to flour mixture with a fork just until all ingredients are coming together and begin to form a ball. At this point I press together to make sure dough is holding together.
- Divide dough into fourths.
- Wrap each one in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for up to 6 months.
