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.
