How to Make Favorite Pie Crust
- Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup lard using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about the size of small peas.
- Crack 1 large egg into a 1-cup measuring cup. Beat with a fork.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon white vinegar to the egg. Add enough ice water to reach the 1-cup mark.
- Gradually pour the liquid into the flour mixture, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a ball. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of ice water at a time until it comes together.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc.
- Wrap each disc individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and use with your favorite filling recipe.
