Grandma Pack's Favorite Pie Crust

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

My Favorite Pie Crust

¾ cup plus 2 Tbl. shortening                                  

2 ¼ cups flour                                                          

½ tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup ice cold water

Cut shortening into flour with pastry cutter or fork [large tine] until consistency of peas. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time until you can pat the dough into a ball. Work quickly & handle dough as little as possible to keep it flakey. Roll out onto floured board or pastry cloth. Roll with quick light strokes & as few as possible to desired thickness, 1/8 in. [evenly]. Fold over & place carefully into pie pan.
