1. Mix flour, sugar and salt in large bowl.
2. Add lard, butter, or shortening, whichever you decide to use; and blend in with your hands or pastry blender until crumbly. It doesn't matter if there's still little pebbles, you just don't want them any larger than pea size.
3. Gradually add ice cold water, and form into ball. If it looks like it will be too dry, just add a bit more water. You want it wet enough that it will stick together. But do not over mix.
4. Divide into 3 balls. Dust your counter top with flour and place your ball of dough onto flour. You can spread a bit with your hands, then dust the top with flour as well. Using rolling pin, roll into a round disc, just a couple inches larger than your pie plate. You'll want to start in the center and roll outward, just applying a little pressure as you roll. And rotate around in a circle to get it nice and round.

1. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until pea-sized crumbs form. Transfer the dough to a large bowl and bring the dough together with a wooden spoon.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar, and water. Pour over the dough and mix until combined (dough will be sticky). Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before rolling.
3. For a hot pie (e.g. with a filling that needs to be baked), divide the chilled dough in half on a generously floured work surface. Roll half of the dough to ¼-inch thick and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Repeat with the second half of dough if the pie is covered. Bake as instructed in the recipe. Wrap any remaining dough in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerate.
4. For a cold pie (e.g. with a filling that doesn't need to be baked), move oven rack to the lowest tier and preheat oven to 375°F. Divide the chilled dough in half on a generously floured work surface. Roll half of the dough to ¼-inch thick and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Loosely fit aluminum foil over the lined pie dish and weigh down with pie weights, raw rice or uncooked beans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and continue baking for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Fill and chill according to the recipe.
