Pastry Dough (Madam Benoit'S No Fail Lemon Tang Pastry)

• 5 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 lb lard, brand of your choice
• In a one-cup measuring cup
• 1 whole egg
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and add enough water to make for one cup of liquid (I use Realemon)

1. A LARGE MIXING BOWL: 5 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon soda Use a whisk to mix.
2. Cut in one pound of lard.
3. Mix to resemble coarse crumbs.
4. IN A ONE CUP MEASURING CUP: Add 1 whole egg 3 tablespoons lemon juice Mix with a fork and add enough water to fill the one cup measuring cup.
5. Add the cup of liquid to the dry ingredients and mix until dough forms into a ball.
6. (at this point I form into balls using approximate amount for the size pie plate I'm using and place into a plastic bag until ready to roll.) NOTE: Rolling the dough between two sheets of wax paper makes for a nice even sheet of pastry.
7. This will make 3-4 double pies-- depending on what size pie pans you are using.
