| 1 pound lard |
 |
|
| 1 3/4 pound all purpose flour (5 cups) |
| 2 teaspoons salt |
| 3 teaspoons sugar |
| 3/4 - 1 cup very cold water |
| Mix flour, salt and sugar into large mixing bowl. Cut in lard or |
| shortening with pastry blender or fork. |
| Slowly add cold water, mixing gently until the dry mixture |
| forms a ball. Do not over mix! It is better not to incorporate |
| the last bit of flour mixture than to over mix your pastry. |
|
| Press out using your Birds Hill pie and tart presses or Pie Machine. Or |
|
| roll out with a rolling pin. |
