I could never make a good pastry until I got this recipe from my sister, and I don't know where she acquired it. This freezes well and because it makes several pies it's great to have in the freezer all the time.
Ingredients:
5 cups flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb cold margarine
1/2 lb cold lard
3/4 cup ice cold water
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons cold vinegar
Directions:
1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Cut in margarine and lard.
3. Mix water, egg yolk and vinegar together.
4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixing well.
5. This can then be wrapped and frozen or used immediately.
