    Hi Ben,


    Title: Pie Crust
    Categories: Pastry
    Yield: 1 Crust

    1 1/2 c Flour
    1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    4 oz Butter (110 g);
    - up to 5 oz (140 g)

    Never heard of baking powder in a pie crust. Some decades ago (mid 80s)
    we had supper at the house of another Army family, dessert was pie, made
    by the husband. After we'd eaten he asked how we liked the pie,
    specifically the crust. We told him that it was very good; he then
    confessed that he'd made the crust with self rising flour (by accident).
    We assured him that it did not affect the crust at all.


    Mix in enough water to make a cohesive dough. Try 1/2 cup at first.

    That's way too much water! Try 2-3 tablespoons full at first, add more
    if neccessary but you shouldn't need to with that amount of flour.
