Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Stir together the flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add lard and cut into the flour with a pastry blender until the lard is completely incorporated into the dry mixture and it becomes pebbly.
  3. Add the water and egg mixture and stir until a dough forms, making sure to incorporate all the flour/lard mixture in the bottom of the bowl.
  4. Gather into a large ball, roll into a long log and cut into 4 or 5 pieces, depending upon size of pie plate.
  5. Flatten each piece into a disc about 8 inches in diameter. Wrap each disc tightly in wax paper, then put into freezer bag.
  6. NOTE: crusts can be frozen for several months. To use, remove and let thaw in the fridge. Crusts should be cold when rolled out.
