Using baking powder in pie crust guarantees it will turn out tender and flaky every time. This crust recipe is my favorite for fruit pies.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.25 teaspoons salt
  • 6 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup shortening

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Transfer 1/2 cup flour mixture to a small bowl; stir in water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cut shortening into remaining flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Blend in wet flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes or up to 3 days before using.
