    2 teaspoons salt
    1 lb lard or shortening
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon vinegar
    Cold water

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the lard or
    shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a measuring cup,
    beat together egg and vinegar. Add enough cold water to make 1 cup
    of liquid. Add the liquid to the flour mixture.........
    a little at a time..........
    While stirring with a fork. Add just enough liquid to make the
    dough hold together. Press it into a ball.

    Pastry can be used right away OR stored in the fridge for up to 2
    weeks or in the freezer for up t0 3 months
    (separarate dough into 6 balls)
