Ingredients:
5 cup All-purpose flour
1 lb (500g) cold shortening
1 Egg
1 tbsp White vinegar
Ice Water
Instructions:
1. Measure flour and place in a large bowl. Cut cold shortening
into 1" cubes and add to flour. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives,
cut shortening into flour until it is the consistency of coarse meal.
Make a well in centre.

2. Place egg and vinegar in a measuring cup. Add ice water to bring
it up to 1 cup. Whisk to break up egg and blend with water. Add
liquid to flour mixture all at once. Then, using a fork, work until
all dry ingredients are moist. Using your hands, gather dough into a
firm ball. Do not over- mix or knead dough. Cut dough into 4 equal
pieces.

3. Wrap each piece of dough individually and refrigerate until well
chilled, at least 30 minutes but preferably overnight. Well-wrapped
pastry will keep well inthe refrigerator for a least a week or in the
freezer for several months.
