Directions:
You can make this dough either by hand or with a food processor. In a medium bowl or in the food processor container whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. Either cut in butter or pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a medium bowl beat together the egg, cold water and vinegar. Add to flour mixture and mix until almost combined. Transfer to a flat surface and gently knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for approximately 30-60 minutes before using.

Personal Notes:
In order to have a flaky pie crust, the water and butter need to be cold, right out of the fridge cold. Don’t leave out the vinegar it makes the crust tender. Do not over knead the dough, that makes it tough. Apparently a glass pie dish makes the flakiest crusts!
