Windward Island Pie Crust

==Ingredients==
* ¾ cup butter
* 4 cups flour
* ¾ cup sugar
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 egg
* ¼ tsp salt
* 3 tbsp cold water 
==Directions==
# Cream butter and sugar together.
# Beat egg well and add to butter mixture.
# Sift dry ingredients together.
# Stir the sifted ingredients into the butter and egg mixture, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface.
# It should remain soft and spongy.
# If the dough seems heavy, sprinkle it lightly with water and knead it a second time.
# Pat the pastry into place, leaving a generous over-hang of dough around the rim of the pie pan.
# This is later folded over the filling to make a wide band of top crust around the edge of the pie.
# Place filling in the pastry shell, and brush the top crust with egg, well beaten.
# Cover the pie tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the pre-heated oven.
# Remove the foil fifteen minutes later, but continue baking the pie an additional half-hour, or until the crust is golden.
