Lard Pastry
Ingredients
Directions
Mix ¾ pound of lard with 1 pound of flour to make a rich puff pastry.
Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes in a cool place.
Flour your board and rolling pin, then roll out the pastry to 1 inch thick.
Rest the rolled pastry for another 30 minutes.
Divide the pastry into ½ pound portions and roll out very thinly, folding it over 6 to 8 times.
Use minimal additional flour to prevent sticking.
