This is the EASIEST way to make a quick two-crust pie crust! Forget measurements and pastry blenders! Whatever amount of flour you need, you then take HALF that amount for your lard/margarine amount. Motto "Half as much fat as flour." Do as the English do and use half lard and half butter for the shortening.

- When chilled, knead it a couple of times on a floured surface.
- Roll it out, and proceed to fill with your choice of pie fillings.
