3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 one-quarter cup shortening
5 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon vinegar

In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients well. Cut shortening into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or a large fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate smaller bowl, mix egg, water and vinegar, beating slightly.

Add liquid to dry mix and combine gently with fork. Do not overwork.

Gather up 1/4 of the mixture into a ball and roll gently on a lightly floured work surface. Repeat for remainder of dough to make 4 balls; flatten into a disk between wax paper sheets if needed or roll out on silicone.

Roll each ball out into a circle 1/8-inch thick.

Makes two pies.
