Pastry for 9-Inch Pie
- 13 cup lard
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water ice cold
- Mix the lard and shortening, flour, and salt with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse grains.
- Add the water a teaspoon at a time until the pastry begins to clean itself from the side of the bowl.
- Flour a board lightly and press the ball of dough down with your hand.
- Lightly flour the top of the dough, then roll out with a rolling pin, always from the center out, dusting surface with flour again as necessary.
- Fold in half then fold again so it can easily be transferred to the pie plate.
- Place it in the plate and unfold.
- Trim edges, prick bottom of pastry all over with a fork, and cover the outer edges with tinfoil to guard against burning.
- Bake at 475 degrees (450 for a glass pie plate) for 8 to 10 minutes, until just lightly browned.
