THE LARD TUB PIE CRUST RECIPE
This is the pie crust recipe found on a tub of hydrogenated lard. It is the simplest recipe I've found for pie crusts and it is surprisingly the best pie crust I've ever had actually. If you are a gen-x aged person like me you may have had a grandma that made pies with crusts that seem exceptional by today's standards. The secret is lard. Food.com has a very nice and useful guide to making a butter based crust, but it will never live up to the lard tub recipe. You may be thinking hydrogenated lard?? That sounds like death in every bite! We'll I won't sell this as a health food that's for sure, when have you ever eaten pie because of its healthy qualities?

Steps:
- Check your lard, it should have no smell or taste, if it does, it is probably rancid.
- Get a large size bowl and add your flour and salt.
- Take your cup of lard and put it in the bowl a spoonful at a time.
- Cover the bits of lard with flour from the bowl.
- Cut the lard into the flour with a sturdy pastry cutter (Get one with ridged blades if you can) to pea sized bits.
- Dribble the water into the mixture all at once.
- Use your hand to work the water into the dough, I like to scoop the mixture from the edges and smoosh it in the center of the bowl.
- You are done mixing when the mixture will stick together as a complete blob. It is like making biscuits don't overwork the dough.
- Form a ball and weigh it on a scale, mine weighed about 600 grams.
- You might want to clean your hands for the next step. Get some cellophane wrap ready.
- Divide the ball into three little balls each a third of the total weight of the original (about 200 grams). Wrap the 3 balls in the cellophane wrap. Put in the fridge, ideally for 24 hours, but 4 hours is fine.

LARD PIE CRUST
This delicate, puffy crust uses a combination of lard and butter for the richest flavor and the largest flakes. You can substitute more lard for the butter, but you will lose some of the complexity. Make sure to seek out rendered leaf lard from a good butcher or specialty market, or try your local farmers' market. It's the purest and best quality pig fat to use in a crust. Avoid processed lard from the supermarket at all costs; it's been hydrogenated to increase shelf life and can sometimes have an off or mildly rancid flavor, not to mention the dangers of hydrogenated fat to your arterial health. You can freeze this crust for up to 3 months. Defrost for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a food processor, briefly pulse together the flour and salt. Add the butter and lard and pulse until the mixture forms chickpea-size pieces (3 to 5 one-second pulses). Or, if making by hand, stir together the flour and salt. Use two knives or a pastry cutter to cut the butter and lard into the flour mixture until you get slightly smaller pieces, the size of green peas.
- Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse or mix until the mixture is just moist enough to hold together. Form the crust into a ball, wrap with plastic and flatten into a disc. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before rolling out and baking.

- Add flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor with knife blade attached. Pulse a few times to combine. Add lard and butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form (a little larger than peas).

Shape dough into a 1-inch thick disc and wrap tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate one hour or longer (recipe note #2).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

Shape dough into a 1-inch thick disc and wrap tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate one hour or longer(recipe note #2).
- When ready to roll out dough, generously flour work surface. Place dough in center and sprinkle with flour. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll into a 12-inch round starting at the center and rolling out toward the edges in every direction. (Dough should be cool, but pliable. If it feels hard, let it stand at room temperature until it has some give, 15 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, if it feels warm or looks greasy, return to the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before continuing to roll it out.) Gently fold dough over rolling pin and ease into a 9-inch, deep dish pie pan. Carefully adjust dough, gently pressing to cover bottom and sides. Trim dough edges with a sharp knife, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang to offset shrinking. Flute pie crust edge using the index finger of one hand to press between the thumb and index finger of the other hand to form a V or U shape all the way around. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to bake. (recipe note #3)

- This will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and up to 3 months in the freezer. (See blog post section about how to freeze the dough.)
- Place the flour and salt in the bowl of the food processor and pulse a few times. Add the butter and lard and continue to pulse until the mixture breaks down into coarse crumbs. Gradually add in the ice cold water, pulsing a few times after each addition, until the texture is such that if you take a small scoop of crumbs into your hands and pinch them they'll come together to form a dough. Be careful not to add too much water or your crust will be tough and won't be flaky.
- Transfer the crumbly pastry dough to a lightly floured work surface and use floured hands to fold the dough into itself until it's all incorporated and comes together. Work quickly to prevent the ingredients from getting warm.Form the dough into a ball. If you're using the pastry dough to make pies, cut the ball in half and flatten each half into a 1-inch thick disk. Tightly wrap each disk and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until ready to use.If you're using the pastry dough for another purpose you can flatten the whole dough ball into a 1-inch thick disk, wrap and chill for at least 3 hours before using. (See blog post section above about how to freeze and use the pastry dough.)
- This makes enough for two 9-inch pie crusts with enough excess for generous fluting and cutting out a few small shapes if desired.
