Steps:
- Place a large sieve in a large mixing bowl.
- Into the sieve place the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.

- With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until crumbly and no large bits or shortening remain.
- In a measuring cup, beat the egg, add the vinegar, and enough cold water to make one cup.
- Pour over flour mixture, a little at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to stick together.
- Add more flour, if necessary, and knead a few times right in the bowl until you have a large, smooth ball.
- Pat firmly into the bowl and lightly mark off six equal portions.
- With a knife, cut through each portion.
- Pat into round balls and place in separate plastic bags.
- Dough will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks, or in the freezer for two months.
