Minnie’s Pie Crust
6 cups flour
2 ½ cups Crisco
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon sugar
About 1 cup cold water mixed with 1 beaten egg and 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
Makes enough for 9 single crusts.
Blend together flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut shortening in with pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture is the size of small beans. Slowly add the cold water mixture. Lightly stir it in with a fork. Shape into 9 balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and then put in freezer bag to freeze.
When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Roll it while it is still cold.
