Pie Dough

5 1/2 cup of flour
1 tsp of salt
4 tsp of baking powder
1 lb shortening COLD
1 egg
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 can of 7up very COLD

* First in a bowl beat eggs and vinegar together then add 7up. Put back in the fridge.
* In a large bowl mix flour baking powder and salt. Add shortening and with 2 big forks cut in little pieces in to the flour. You have to go fast. Then go with your hand to mix the graise with the flour until you reach the point where it look like big peas.
* Make a holl in the middle of the flour and pour haft of the 7up mixture. Fold the flour in to it with a fork the add the reste of the 7up. Mix all the flour, sometimes it's easy with your hand. If there's still flour loose, take a little bit of very cold water to help mix it. It will be a very sticky dough.
* DO NOT Manipulate your dough to much. Just put it in the fridge wrapped inside cold humide dish cloth.
* Put in the fridge for at least  2 hours but it's better if it's stay overnight. The dough will be easy to roll. It can be freeze easy too.
* It make around 5 pie of 9 inch.

I love this recipe. It's easy and my dough was perfect and flaky. Love it so much!
