Flaky and Tasty Pastry Recipe

Beat the egg in a measuring cup. Add the vinegar and enough cold water to make one cup of liquid.

In a large bowl combine the flour baking powder salt and brown sugar. Cut the lard up into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Blend with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Add the liquid ingredients mixing with a knife. Do not use your hands as it tends to soften the lard too much. Add additional water if required to make a soft ball of dough. If the weather is warm refrigerate your dough for 1/2 hour to chill it before rolling. Warm dough doesn't roll as well and requires too much flour which makes it less flaky.
