Flaky Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Perfect Pie Crust
    4 cups unsifted flour
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 teaspoons salt
    Combine in bowl and add
    1 3/4 cups shortening (I prefer chilled butter) or 1 3/4 cups butter (I prefer chilled butter)
    In small bowl combine
    1 tablespoon white vinegar
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup cold water
Preparation
    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.
