Easy No-Fail Pie Crust

1 . Stage

Mix flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in lard until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

2 . Stage

Whisk water, egg, and vinegar together in another bowl; add to dry ingredients and stir until dough is thoroughly moistened and forms a ball.

3 . Stage

Divide dough into fourths; roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a disk.

4 . Stage

If using immediately, roll each disk on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie pan, then bake as directed in your recipe.

5 . Stage

If using later, wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to three days, or place wrapped disks in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
