Pie Crust
Ingredients
Directions
In a bowl, rub together the flour and lard with your fingers until the flour is fully absorbed.
Dissolve the salt in the water and add it to the mixture.
Add the additional ½ cup of flour and mix gently.
Handle the dough as little as possible for best results.
For improved flavor, let the crust sit for several days before using.
