Ingredients
1 1/4
cup
white or wheat flour
(cold)
1/4
teaspoon
salt
2
tablespoons
butter
(cold)
3
tablespoons
lard or tallow
(cold)
6-8
tablespoons
water
(ice cold)
Instructions
Sift flour into a bowl and add salt.
Add butter & lard and "cut in" using a pastry cutter.
Add ice cold water and mix with a spoon, then form a ball using your hands.
Flour a fine cotton towel or piece of fabric, and roll out your dough using a rolling pin.
Once your dough is rolled out to the desired size, use your rolling pin to roll up the dough and transfer to your pie plate.
If you are making a custard pie, pre-bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Be sure to add pie weights during this pre-bake time.
