Pies from Rina's Kitchen


English Pie Crusts 
Makes 2 pie crusts

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups fat ( We in England break this down as half lard
  and half margarine or butter)
4 - 5 tablespoons very cold water
                   
1. Cut the fat into cubes, and toss into flour. Take your
   hands and crumble it up into a fine, pebbly, grainy sort
   of dough. 
2. Add water, enough to make a soft dough. Form into a
   ball, and chill for about an hour. 
3. When chilled, knead it a couple of times on a floured
   surface. Roll it out, and proceed to fill with your choice
   of pie fillings.
