Stephenie's No Fail Pie Crust from the Old "Joy of Cooking"

Hot Water Pie Crust

1/2 cup lard (or veg shortening)
1/4 cup boiling water.

Pour boiling water over the lard and beat until cool and creamy.

Chill this if you can. (Put in freezer)

Add:
1-1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder (I leave this out and it works)
1/2 tsp salt

Combine ingredients until it makes a rough ball. Chill if you have the time. Then divide in half and roll out between two sheets of wax paper.

This makes a crust with top.

Enjoy!
