This is my favorite pie crust recipe using lard

4 cups flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup lard (I don't measure..just use 3/4 of a 2 lb box)
Combine then add:
1 whole egg
1/2 cup water
1 tsp vinegar
Blend and add to lard mixture.Makes 4 single or 2 double pies. Freezes well. I roll in ball shape, wrap in saran and put in zip-lock bag.Will keep up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. The secret to rolling it out is to chill prior to rolling out. Use a cloth rolling pin cover and cloth pastry cloth using flour on both. Doesn't stick.
