Old Fashioned Pie Crust
Ingredients
Directions
Place flour in a mixing bowl.
Add lard and mix thoroughly with a silver knife until it resembles fine pieces.
Add salt and enough ice cold water to hold the mixture together.
Roll out the dough and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Roll out again to make a thin crust for the top and bottom of a pie.
