You simply can not ruin this pie dough. My Auntie Ida gave it to me and she was a professional baker for a number of years. You have to make ONE batch at a time though otherwise the consistency of the dough changes and it's not as easy to work with.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon rounded salt
1 cup lard
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup cold water
Directions:
1. Measure & mix the first 4 ingredients.
2. Blend lard by cutting it into the flour mixture with a fork. Mix until the dough has an oatmeal like quality.
3. Add water and mix with fork.
4. Form dough into a ball and divide into 3 equal pieces.
5. Roll out on floured surface, making sure to keep surface & rolling pin floured.
6. Bake according to directions for your favorite pie.
