Pie Crust
Ingredients
Directions
Flour a clean surface with reserved flour.
Cut off about ¼ of the dough and roll it thin with a rolling pin.
Place the rolled crust into a pie pan and press it down gently.
Trim off the edges of the crust.
Fill the pie with fruit and cover it with another rolled crust.
Handle the crust as little as possible to keep the lard cold.
