Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
Cold water


Directions:
This recipe is for one large pie with top and bottom crust.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add shortening and rub in very lightly with tips of fingers. Add cold water very slowly, enough to hold dough together (do not work or knead dough). Divide in halves; roll out one part very thin on floured board, and use for bottom crust. After pie is filled roll out other part for top. Place loosely over pie, bringing pastry well over edge of pie plate. Trim off extra paste. Press edges of pastry with fork. Prick or cut two or three slashes in top of pie crust and bake in hot oven.
