Kathy's Pie Crust

Sift together:

	4 cups flour
	1 tsp. baking powder
	1 tsp. salt
	1 2/3 cups lard or Crisco (lard makes the best pie crust)

Using hand blender, combine in a separate bowl:

	1 egg
	1/2 cup lukewarm water

1 tsp. vinegar

Mix dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.

Cut in lard or Crisco using two table knives or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.

Add liquid to dry ingredients

Makes 2 to 3 double crusts.

I triple this recipe and freeze the extra dough
