Step 1
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Step 2
Cut the lard into 1/2 inch cubes and add to the flour.
Step 3
With a pastry blender, cut the lard into the flour until it resembles very course crumbs.
Step 4
In a measuring cup, whisk the egg with the vinegar, then add enough cold water to make 1 cup of liquid.
Step 5
With a fork, gently mix the liquid into the dry ingredients, just until it starts to bind together. If the mixture is too dry, and not coming together, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it does.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto the counter and gently bring it together with your hands.
Step 7
Press it into a round, then cut into 6 equal portions.
Step 8
Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 mintues before using. At this point you can also freeze the dough for use later.
Step 9
After the dough has chilled, prepare and bake your pastry according to your recipe directions.
