Pie Crust
Ingredients
Directions
In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
Rub in the lard until well mixed.
Add enough water to form a dough that is not too stiff.
Roll out the dough and spread a thin layer of butter on top.
Fold the dough, spread with butter again, and fold once more.
Roll out the dough again, kneading as little as possible.
