_Dough Ingredients_Yield 3 x 10-inch pie shells
20oz flour, all-purpose2 teaspoon salt6oz lard, frozen5oz butter, frozen
*1 large egg, white vinegar, water: crack the egg into a clear measuring cup and mix it slightly. Carefully add vinegar into the cup until you reach the 4 oz liquid measure then add water until the 6 oz measure. Stir together and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F convection bake.
Sift flour into a large bowl and whisk in salt.
Using a box grater, grate the frozen lard and butter into the mix with the ribbon face.
Cut the fat into the flour with a pastry cutter until you reach the medium meal stage.
Pour in the water/egg/vinegar and stir quickly with a spatula. Finish the dough by hand, gently pressing and kneading until you have a solid ball.
Split the dough into 3 equal pieces, and wrap individually. Dough may be frozen and thawed in the fridge later or held in the fridge for 3 days.
Lightly dust a large, sterilized surface with AP flour, dust your rolling pin and roll out the dough as thin as you can ( ½ – ¼ cm is best).
Cut the dough into your desired shape, use a bit of water to help pinch any edges you are forming, brush with a kiss of egg wash, sprinkle with raw sugar, and bake at 400°F for 12-14 minutes – until the edges are golden and the filling is set.
