Hi does anybody have a good pie crust recipe using lard.

I was trying a recipe that called for 4 cups flour and 2 cups
lard so I used one pound of lard (didn't measure) and 8 cups
flour and haven't put in the water yet as it seem so lardy
I don't know if I can fix it or not

2 cups flour and 2/3 cups lard is what i have so for 8 cups flour that would be 2 2/3 cups of lard

so with 4 cups of lard that should be about 12 cups of flour if i figured it right

Defiantly chill or set in the freezer for a bit and do it in a cold area.

Enjoy your many pies!! You can roll the dough into balls big enough for one crust and freeze it.
