Step 1
Start by mixing the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Then, cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, water, and white vinegar, then pour it into the flour mixture. Use a fork to combine everything until it comes together into a dough ball. Wrap it up in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Step 2
Next, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until it’s well blended, then add the water and brown sugar, stirring until smooth. Take it off the heat and set it aside.

Step 3
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of an aluminum foil roasting pan, making sure it’s evenly spread.
