Never Fail Swedish Pie Crust

This is one of my favorite pie crust recipes and it turns out every time. It makes enough for 4 crusts and will keep in the refrigerator.

4 cups flour
2 cups shortening
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs sugar

Blend with hands. Add:

1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup water
1 Tbs white vinegar

Blend with the first mixture. Roll out. You can handle this dough with your hands all you want and still get a flaky cryst. This will keep in the refrigerator for quite awhile if you can't use it all at once.
