Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb lard
5 1/2 cups flour
1 tbsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
3 tsp sugar
1 egg
7/8 cup water
2 tbsp vinegar

Directions:

Cut lard into 4 cups of flour.
The secret to making great pastry is to cut the lard in very fine, until it looks like pea meal. Mix in the rest of the dry ingredients and flour.
In a glass measuring cup, beat egg and vinegar well. Add water to one cup mark.
Pour into a well in dry ingredients.
Mix well.
Form into patties, and roll out as for pie dough.
Use in pie recipes as normal.
