I would not be surprised if this were Great Great Grandma Russell's recipe. It's been in my family forever. It's the one mom, Aunt Dawn, Aunt Eth and Aunt Laura ( The Girls ) used, and it's the one Grandma gave me when I asked for a pie crust recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 c lard (i use shortening it makes it flakier, besides, the girls started using shortening when they baked for their own familes)
1/4 c boiling water
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
Directions:
1. Have lard (shortening) at room temperature, put in bowl and add boiling water.
2. Stir with a fork until creamy.
3. Add flour, sifted with salt and baking powder
4. chill
5. Makes one two crust pie
