For an extra golden crust, brush the top with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking. If the dough becomes too warm while working with it, return it to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to chill. Feel free to substitute half of the shortening with unsalted butter for a richer flavor, but be sure to keep the butter very cold.
