Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch pie pan.
2. Shell: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add butter and mix until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg mixture and enough milk so that dough can be formed into a ball with your hands. Dust the ball with flour, wrap it in waxed paper, and chill for 1 hour.
3. On floured surface, roll dough into an 11 inch round to fit the buttered pie plate. Crimp the edges.
