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

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup plus 2 Tbl. shortening                                  
• 2 ¼ cups flour                                                          
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup ice cold water

Directions:

1. Cut shortening into flour with pastry cutter or fork [large tine] until consistency of peas. 
2. 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. 
3. Roll out onto floured board or pastry cloth. Roll with quick light strokes & as few as possible to desired thickness, 1/8 in. [evenly]. 
4. Fold over & place carefully into pie pan.
