Equipment

  • 1 pie pan
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 mixer

Ingredients

  • 1.5 c butter softened slightly
  • 3 c all purpose flour +2 tbsp
  • 1/3 c powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • For this recipe we use softened butter. Add butter to a bowl, add sugar and beat until creamy. In another bowl mix flour and baking powder together.
  • Add dry ingredients and vanilla and gently blend together until combined into a ball of dough similar to one for cookies.

  • Lightly flour a cutting board or counter, roll out the dough so it is an even thickness all the way across. Place in pie pan. Crimp edges all the way around. (if you feel it is too sticky, wrap with plastic wrap and set into fridge for about 1 hour before rolling out)
