Grandma Anne's Hot Water Pie Crust

Mix together:

1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup shortening
until well blended. Looks like thick cream. Let cool about 15 minutes.

Sift together:

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

add slowly to creamed mixture. Chill dough about 5 hours or over night.

Makes 1 double crust pie. I usually double the recipe and you can freeze the left overs.
