Pie Crust This is my grandmother's recipe. 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 4-5 ounces butter Sift flour and baking powder. Rub butter into flour until like coarse breadcrumbs. Mix in enough water to make a cohesive dough (try 1/2 cup at first). (Chill for half an hour in fridge if you can be bothered!) Then roll our to fit your pie dish.
