Method

Steel Blade: Place shortening, flour and salt in processor. Process with 5 or 6 quick on/off pulses, stopping to check texture, until mixture begins to look like coarse oatmeal. Add vinegar. With machine running, add liquid in a steady stream through feed tube just until dough begins to gather around the blades, about 10 seconds after all the liquid is added. Do not overprocess.
