1 lb. lard, at room temp. (no substitutions)
1 c. boiling water
6 c. all-purpose flour, sifted
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder

Pour boiling water over lard. Let stand until cool, then add 3 cups sifted flour with salt and baking powder. Stir until smooth. Add remaining flour, mix thoroughly and refrigerate overnight.

Makes enough dough for 4 (8-inch) pie crusts.
