Butte Pasty Dough - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 1/3 cups flour
    1 1/3 cups shortening or 1 1/3 cups butter flavor shortening
    Liquid mixture (best in a 1 cup measuring cup)
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon white vinegar
    1/2 tablespoon sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    cold water (add cold water to make 1 cup)
Preparation
    In a medium bowl, cut first two ingredients with a pastry cutter (or forks) until fine and crumbly.
    In a 1 cup measuring cup (or see-through measuring cup) add egg, vinegar, salt and sugar.
    Add enough cold water to make 1 cup, stir mixture well.
    Stir liquid mixture into flour and shortening until combined.
    Do not over-work dough or crust will be tough and not flakey.
    Roll out, between plastic wrap works well.
    Fill with your favorite pasty filling.
    Bake at 350-375\u00b0F for approximately 60 minutes, or until crust is browned and filling is cooked.
    *You can brush with an egg-wash before baking for a nice light brown crisp.
