Title: Pastry For 9-Inch Pie
Categories: Polkadot, Faylen, Pies
Yield: 8 Servings

1/3 c Lard
1 tb Shortening
1 c All-purpose flour
1/8 ts Salt
3 tb Ice water

Mix the lard and shortening, flour, and salt with a pastry cutter
until it resembles coarse grains. Add the water a teaspoon at a time
until the pastry begins to clean itself from the side of the bowl.
Flour a board lightly and press the ball of dough down with your
hand. Lightly flour the top of the dough, then roll out with a
rolling pin, always from the center out, dusting surface with flour
again as necessary. Fold in half then fold again so it can easily be
transferred to the pie plate. Place it in the plate and unfold. Trim
edges, prick bottom of pastry all over with a fork, and cover the
outer edges with tinfoil to guard against burning. Bake at 475
degrees (450 for a glass pie plate) for 8-10 minutes, until just
lightly browned.
