My Favourite Pie Crust Recipe
- 5 cups flour, all-purpose
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pound lard cold *
- 1 each eggs
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 x water cold
- Measure flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into large bowl.
- Cut in lard until the size of tiny peas.
- Break egg into measuring cup and beat with fork until frothy and add vinegar to egg mixture.
- Add enough water in same cup to equal 1 cup.
- Pour a little at a time over flour mixture and continue to work pie dough with hands--continue this until all liquid is absorbed.
- Divide into four balls.
- Wrap and refrigerate.
- Store in refrigerator up to two weeks or in freezer for longer period.
- Most often, I make my pie shells immediately and do not put the dough in the refrigerator.
- If dough is too moist to work with add a very little flour.
- In addition, there will be extra flour on your board to roll the pastry.
