["Preheat the oven to 425.", "Make the dough. The easiest way to make this whole pie is to have an awesome Cuisinart food processor, which is my most-favorite and least-used kitchen appliance. If not, you can use a Kitchen Aid mixer, or just kick it old school and do everything by hand.", "Combine 2 C. flour, the salt & the baking powder.", "Chop up the super cold butter into little pieces, add to the flour mixture. Here's why you need the butter to be as cold as possible, and work as quickly as possible to make the dough itself. The cold little pieces of butter kind of burrow their way into the dough, and then when you bake this, they warm up and create these little pockets of explosions of deliciousness in the crust, which is amazing (obvs).", "Pulse the butter into the flour mixture until it starts to form little pellets of dough. At that point, add the cold water (same reasoning for this as the cold butter) a little bit at a time, mixing until it starts to come together. My mom's note is to not overmix this, \"so don't make this when you're annoyed!\""""
