My Great Grandmother's Pie Crust

This recipe comes straight from my Great Grandmother's recipe book. So many happy memories, all with delicious pies to go along with them. :)

Ingredients:
4 cups flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups shortening
1/2 cup water
1 egg
1 tsp vinegar

1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the water, egg, and vinegar and add that into the main mix.
4. Chill for 1 hour then roll out on a floured board until the correct size.

According to my grandmother, this crust can be chilled for a week to ten days.

Enjoy!
