Pie Crust
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 c flour + 2 to 3 tbsp extra
2 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
⅔ c shortening
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
¾ c water, cold
Directions:
Directions:
Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening.
Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter and shortening into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal (pea-sized bits with a few larger bits of fat is OK). A pastry cutter makes this step very easy and quick.
Drizzle the cold water in, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon after every tablespoon is added. Do not add any more water than you need to. Stop adding water when the dough begins to form large clumps.
Transfer the pie dough to a floured work surface. The dough should come together easily and should not feel overly sticky. Using floured hands, fold the dough into itself until the flour is fully incorporated into the fats. Form it into a ball. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into 1-inch thick discs using your hands.
Wrap each tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (and up to 5 days).
When rolling out the chilled pie dough discs to use in your pie, always use gentle force with your rolling pin. Start from the center of the disc and work your way out in all directions, turning the dough with your hands as you go.
