Custard Pies

Ingredients

• 5 pounds all-purpose flour
• 2 pounds lard
• a little coarse sea salt
• water (enough to make a stiff dough)

Directions

1. Rub the lard into the flour until well combined.

2. Add water gradually and work the dough until smooth.

3. Roll out the dough into pieces large enough for your pie plates.

4. Trim the edges with scissors, leaving a little extra around the plate.

5. Turn the surplus edge under and push it up around the plate.
