A Good, Very Good, Pie Crust Recipe

Makes 2 13'' pie size crusts.

I have been searching for a good pie recipe and after some researching and trying out different ones, I came up with my favorite so far.

 Ingredients:

3 Cups of Flour

1 Tsp Kosher Salt

1 Tsp Baking Powder

½ Cup Lard (or butter)

½ Cup of Butter (total of 1 cup butter if you are substituting some for lard)

2/3 Cup Ice Cold Water

Directions:

Mix together salt and baking powder into flour. Cut butter and lard into flour mixture until it forms small misshaped pea sized balls, then slowly add in ice cold water. Let sit in refrigerator for 1/2 an hour to cool.

Roll out with the aid of sprinkled flour.

If you need to pre-cook the crust, do so at 350 degrees, checking for golden brown after 10 minutes.

Works for sweet or savory pies
