(_8 or 9-inch Single Pie Crust_)
_1 cup sifted enriched flour_
_¾ teaspoon salt_
_4 to 6 tablespoons lard_
_2 to 4 tablespoons cold water_
Add salt to flour. Cut lard into flour until crumbs are about size of
small peas. Add cold water, a little at a time, mixing quickly and
evenly through flour with a fork until dough just holds in a ball. Use
as little water as possible. Roll to about ⅛ inch in thickness. Line pie
pan. Bake according to directions in recipe. For baked crust prick
bottom of shell with a fork before baking. Bake in hot oven (450° F.) 8
to 10 minutes.
