Pie Crust

I believe the card said this was from Lucille Meyer - our neighbor back in Dinkytown.

Pie Crust

1 cup boiling water
2 scant tsp baking powder
2 T sugar
2 tsp salt
6 cups flour
1 pound of lard

Mix water and lard until creamy.  Add 4 cups of flour and dry ingredients.  Last, add remaining 2 cups of flour and mix by hand.

Chill dough.  Do not use right away.  Dough can be frozen.  Divide into 8 or 9 parts (enough for 1 crust) and store in sandwich size plastic bags.

Defrost to roll out on floured board to fit a 9" pie pan.
