Preparation:

Blend flour and shortening, baking powder and salt to a crumbly mixture. Add beaten egg and enough milk to bind to a pie dough consistency. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece to size of a dinner plate. Prick all over with a fork. Roll out all the dough, placing paper towel between circles of dough. Prepare frying pan with 3-4 tablespoons olive oil. Heat to fry crescia one at a time. Cook to a light brown, turn with two spatulas, until brown on second side. Layer fried crescia between paper towels. Add oil as needed to fry. Serve with sauteed greens such as Swiss chard, spinach, broccoli-rabe, or beet tops and dandelions mixed. Place greens on one half, fold over, and enjoy. Makes four crescia.
