Pie Crust
Ingredients
Directions
In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
Cut in lard until well combined.
Add enough water to form a dough that is not too soft.
Divide the dough in half for the upper crust.
Roll out the first half thinly and place small pieces of lard on top.
Fold the dough over the lard and shape it into a ball.
Roll out the ball to fit the size of the pie pan.
Place small pieces of lard on top of the rolled crust.
