Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups flour (divided )
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 5 7/8 oz about 3/4 cup lard
  • 1/3 cup ice water
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl with a pastry blender or two knives, cut lard into flour and salt until particles are the size of small peas.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the water and the vinegar, whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour all at once into lard/flour mixture; stir with a fork just until the ingredients are combined.
  4. Divide dough in half, wrap each in plastic wrap and chill a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight (I tried skipping this once - don't!).
  5. Roll out and bake as your recipe directs.
