How to Make Gourmet Double Pie Crust
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) cold shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- In a glass measuring cup, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and enough cold water to reach a total of ⅓ cup liquid.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If the dough is too dry, add cold water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to add too much water.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a smooth ball, flatten slightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
- Roll out each chilled dough ball to your desired thickness and shape for your pie. One ball makes one pie crust.
