Pie Crust wth Lard
Just OK.
3 oz butter, chilled
3 oz butter, chilled
1 ounce lard, chilled
6 ounces flour
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 c. ice water
- Place butter and lard in freezer for 15 minutes. When ready to use, remove the butter and cut into small pieces.
- In the food processor, combine flour and salt by pulsing 3 to 4 times. Add the butter and pulse 5 to 6 times. Add lard and pulse 3 to 4 times.
- Remove the lid and put a scant 1 tsp of ice water on the dough. Replace lid and pulse 5 times. Check and see if the mixture holds together when squeezed. If not, add a little more ice water and repeat until it does hold together.
- Place mixture in a large ziploc bag and squeeze together to form a ball. Then form a disc shape and refrigerate ate least 30 minutes.
