This was the best pie crust I have ever had! I have never made a successful pie crust so I will need to try this at Thanksgiving time. Lucky for me she was willing to share.
For a SINGLE PIE CRUST:
-Can double the recipe for 2 single pie crusts.
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c lard
1 tbsp room temperature butter
-(optional, she accidentally left it out of the pies she made for me and it was still the best pie crust I have ever had).
4-5 tbsp cold water
-(she fills an 8 oz glass with ice water, adds about 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to it and spoons out 4-5 tbsp from it. When I asked her why the vinegar, she said she took a class from an award wining pie maker and she does it....so she doesn't question that kind of genius haha!
Mix flour and salt. Cut in lard. Mix in water with a fork-or throw it all in the food processor, as another friend suggested haha!
For a DOUBLE PIE CRUST (top and bottom):
2 c flour
1 tsp salt
2/3 c lard
5-7 tbsp water
1 tbsp butter
