No-Fail Pie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon white sugar
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 3/4 cups vegetable shortening
    1 teaspoon vinegar
    1 egg
    1/2 cup ice water
Preparation
    Place flour, sugar and salt in a medium/large bowl.
    Add the shortening and\"cut\" in until the mixture is crumbly and there are no big lumps of fat. Use forks, two knives or a pastry cutter; pea size crumbs please.
    In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, egg and ice water.
    Slowly add to flour mixture with a fork just until all ingredients are coming together and begin to form a ball. At this point I press together to make sure dough is holding together.
    Divide dough into fourths.
    Wrap each one in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for up to 6 months.
