In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking powder... After dry mixture is well blended, add the lard... Mix these all together until the mixture is crumbly...
Take beaten egg and put it in the one cup of water... Then add vinegar and mix well...
Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour mixture until the dough is a smoothly formed ball and ready for rolling and baking...
