Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg and milk; stir into flour mixture (dough will be sticky). Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate.
  • 2. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack. Fill as desired.
  • 3. If baking the filling, cover edges with foil during the last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.
  • 4.
