Cut up lard and put in the freezer.

In a measuring cup, whisk together the egg and the vinegar.

Add enough cold water to make 125 mL (1/2 cup), and stir.
Step 4
Add half the flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine.
Step 5
Add the frozen lard and pulse to create what looks like peas coated in flour.
Step 6
Add the remaining flour and pulse a few more times.
Step 7
While pulsing, slowly drizzle in the cold liquid.
Step 8
Only add enough liquid for the dough to start coming together.
