Source of Recipe


(wickedlygood)


List of Ingredients




2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup lard (or shortening- Crisco)

5 to 6 tablespoons of ice water

Recipe



(note: if using for a sweet pie, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar.)

.

Mix flour with salt, and cut in butter and lard.


(Note: I use the cuisinart to cut in my fat and then move the mixture

to a bowl to add the water by hand).

I like to have to do this by feel which I find I can't do by machine)


Put flour mixture in bowl and add water mixing with a fork until pastry

comes together. Form in to a ball and cut in two pieces. Form each

into a round flat disc and refrigerate for 1 hour.
