       Title: Pastry For 9-Inch Pie
  Categories: Polkadot, Faylen, Pies
       Yield: 8 Servings
  
     1/3 c  Lard
       1 tb Shortening
       1 c  All-purpose flour
     1/8 ts Salt
       3 tb Ice water
  
   Mix the lard and shortening, flour, and salt with a pastry cutter
   until it resembles coarse grains.  Add the water a teaspoon at a time
   until the pastry begins to clean itself from the side of the bowl.
   Flour a board lightly and press the ball of dough down with your
   hand. Lightly flour the top of the dough, then roll out with a
   rolling pin, always from the center out, dusting surface with flour
   again as necessary. Fold in half then fold again so it can easily be
   transferred to the pie plate. Place it in the plate and unfold. Trim
   edges, prick bottom of pastry all over with a fork, and cover the
   outer edges with tinfoil to guard against burning. Bake at 475
   degrees (450 for a glass pie plate) for 8-10 minutes, until just
   lightly browned.
