Pie Crust -- Food Storage

1/4 cup REAL butter
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 Tablespoon dry milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup very cold water

Can do in food processor or just by hand.  Don't mix too much.  Mix butter and shortening together.  Add half the flour and all of the dry ingredients.  Mix.  Add the rest of the flour and water.  Roll out very thin with plenty of flour or roll out between parchment.  (Parchment paper - flour - pie dough - flour on dough and another sheet of parchment paper.) Then I roll in one direction and turn the parchment paper each time I roll forward. It is very easy.  Carefully put in pie plate and, if just making a single crust, prick with fork all over.
