Basic Pie Pastry
Courtesy Morrell Snow Cap Lard
Sift flour and salt together in bowl. Cut in lard with pastry blender, two knives,or blending fork until pieces are the size of small peas. Add the cold water a few drops at a time until particles just hold together. Press together lightly to form a ball. Chill for easier handling. Divide pastry in half. Roll pastry 1/8 inch thick and line pie pan. For a single crust pastry, trim 1/2 inch beyond edge. Fold under and flute edge of pastry. Prick pastry with a fork before baking. Bake at 450 F. for 8 to 10 minutes. For a double crust pie, roll other half of pastry making several slits in top crust. Place over filling and cut 1/2 inch smaller than lower crust. Fold lower crust over top crust and flute edges. Bake according to pie recipe.
Yield: Two single pie crusts, one double pie crust or 6 to 8 tart shells.
Note: A food processor can be used at pulse setting to blend dough.
