Method

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with knives, or blend with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add peanuts.
Sprinkle cold water over mixture, a little at a time, stirring with fork until dough is just moist enough to hold together and form a ball.
Roll out on lightly floured surface to a circle
