Storebought shells just aren't the same. My mom makes these every Chistmas, and it just wouldn't be the same without them. Ingredients:
1 lb lard (i use tenderflake) |
1 tablespoon butter |
5 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients together until crumbly. Put eggs and vinegar in a cup and fill cup with cold water. Add to dry mixture and mix with hands to shape into a ball. Let sit in fridge overnight.
2. Pastry should be removed from fridge a few hours before use to allow it to soften. Roll out on a floured board to desired thickness. Cut out with flower cookie cutter and press in muffin tin.
3. Fill with filling of your choice, and bake accordingly.
