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.
