Pie Crust

2 c flour (240 grams)
1 t salt
Combine. Take out 1/3 cup flour and mix with 1/4 cup water into a paste.
Add
1/3 c butter (227 gams)
1/3 c lard (yes, you heard me...LARD. It's a very natural ingredient and this is a pie.) or Crisco (205 grams)
to remaining flour. Cut in with a pastry blender. Add paste. Form into 2 round discs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out on fresh plastic wrap to make your life easier. (This makes a 2 crust pie, especially beautiful to make the top crust into a lattice crust. An easier option would be to take the top crust and cut out stars, and then randomly layer the stars on top of the filling.)
