With Lard:
7 C. flour
4 tsp. salt
2 C. lard
With Shortening:
6 C. flour
1 Tbsp. salt
1 (1 lb.) can shortening or 2 1/3 C.
Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in lard or shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Cover and store in
refrigerator. Keeps very well. For 1 crust use 2 to 4 tablespoons cold water and 1 1/4 cups mix for 8-inch pie;
11/2 cups mix for 9-inch pie and 1 3/4 cups mix for 10-inch pie.
Measure mix into bowl and sprinkle water over it. Mix quickly until it holds together in a ball. Roll as usual.
