Preparation
Step 1
With a pastry blender, mix together flour,sugar,salt and Crisco til you have grape and pea size lumps of crisco(this is what makes your dough flakey).
Step 2
Sprinkle the lemon juice on top.
Step 3
Beat the egg in a measuring cup, then add the ice water to the 1 c line.Pour into the dough mixture and gently combine with a fork(hands make dough tough)
Step 4
Make a ball and divide into 4 portions. Wrap in wax paper and a baggie and chill for at least two hours, or until ready to use.
I put the water in the freezer to get it really cold
