For the dough:
Place 3 cups flour, cane juice and salt in a mixing bowl with a paddle. Add the cold butter and mix on low speed until it looks like large crumbs. Add the remaining cup of flour, the egg and water. Mix until the dough gathers into a ball. Remove from the bowl. Wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
