Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 pound lard
  • 1 large egg, beaten slightly
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1/2 to 1 cups ice water

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour and the salt. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the lard into the flour mixture until coarse, pea-sized lumps form.
  • In a small bowl, stir the egg and vinegar. Add enough ice water to make 1 cup. Slowly pour into the lard mixture, stirring as you go. Continue to stir with a fork until it comes together in a ball. You may need to drizzle in a little more ice water.
  • Using your hands, gently press the dough together into a ball and divide into three pieces. Press each ball into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Bake the crust according to the directions in your recipe. (Each ball of dough will make one double-crust pie.)
