1 lb. lard or shortening of your liking
3 tsp. salt
6 c. flour

Using pastry blender or electric mixer; cut lard into flour and salt until it resembles coarse meal. Spoon mix into glass jar; cover and store on cupboard shelf. Makes 4 single crusts or 3 double crust pies.

Hot to use: (Do not sift.)

1. Spoon dry mix into cup to measure.

2. For 1 crust pie, use 1 1/2 cups mix and 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water.

3. For 2 crust pie, use 2 cups mix and 1/4 cups cold water.

4. Add water and mix as you would any crust. Using a pastry cloth is a nice aid in rolling out crust.
