The Good Housewife’s No~Fail Pie Crust
 
 
Ingredients
  • 6 cups Pastry Flour or
  • 5 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 lb Tenderflake lard
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Ice cold water
Instructions
  1. Mix together flour and salt.
  2. Cut in Tenderflake lard with pastry cutter or two knives until mixtures resembles coarse oatmeal.
  3. In a 1 cup measuring cup (250 mL) combine vinegar and egg. Add ice water, enough to make 1 cup (250 mL) of liquid.
  4. Gradually stir liquid into Tenderflake mixture using a spoon. Eventually keep adding the liquid to the mixture, working lightly with your hands to mix. Stop adding liquid when the dough comes together and is moist. (I had about 1/3 cup of liquid left over.) Through away the remaining water mixture.
  5. Form dough into a ball. Using a knife or pastry cutter, cut dough ball in half, then in thirds to get six equal portions. Gently press into a disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 to 2 hours.
