I have used this pie crust receipe since I got married in 1961, and it has never failed. You can find it in the Victory cookbook. Mix 1/3 cup very hot water with 2/3 cup lard until creamed together. Add 2 cups bread flour with 1 tsp salt (or less) and mix with a folley fork . The dough should be wet. Roll out between wax paper. Makes two crusts. I don't use the tsp of baking pwd as it changes the texture of the crust. I have added more hot water if it wasn't wet enough.
