Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups unsifted flour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups shortening (i prefer chilled butter) or 1 3/4 cups butter (i prefer chilled butter)
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 large egg
1/2 cup cold water

Directions:

Mix flour, sugar and salt with fingers or fork till corse mill.
Combine two mixtures with fingers or fork just until barely moistened. If you over combine you will make it tough and lose flakiness.
If it looks under stirred and falls apart then you're there! Tightly wrap it in plastic wrap (it will continue to combine by itself while wrapped) and chill for half hour.
Flour surfaces before rolling out.
