To make the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the butter and the sugar. Add the egg, vanilla and milk. Beat thoroughly. Combine the flour and the baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture; blend well. Pat into a well greased 14-inch pizza pan, it will expand so you don’t need to press it all the way to the edges or it will flow over while baking. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, depending on your oven. Cool completely.
