Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour.
- 1 teaspoon table salt.
- 1.5 cups vegetable shortening.
- 1 whole large egg.
- 5 tablespoons very cold water.
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Put the flour into a large bowl. Add the salt to the flour. Stir them together with a fork.
Cut in the Shortening
- Add the shortening to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter to mix it. The mix should look like small crumbs. Do not overmix the fat.
Whisk the Wet Ingredients
- Take a small separate bowl. Crack the egg into the bowl. Add the cold water and vinegar. Whisk them until they are smooth.
Combine Everything

Chill the Dough
