Rub fats and flour together until it resembles breadcrumbs in a food processor or mixer or by hand.
Then add sugar, mix with beaten egg and enough water to form a dough.
Use cornflour for rolling out as this is lighter than flour.
Make whatever pies you like with it, brush tops with egg and sprinkle with some more sugar, then bake.
