Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound lard, chilled and cut into small pieces
¾ cup cold water
1 egg
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white sugar
⅓ cup margarine, melted
¼ cup milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
½ cup brown sugar, or more as needed
¼ cup margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk 5 cups flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut lard into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk cold water, 1 egg, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center of flour-lard mixture. Pour egg mixture into well and mix until dough forms.
  • Divide dough into fourths; wrap 3/4 of the dough in plastic wrap. Form the remaining 1/4 of the dough into 12 balls and flatten each ball into a disc. Press each disc into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin cup.
  • Beat cream cheese and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Add 1/3 cup melted margarine, milk, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract to cream cheese mixture; beat until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture into prepared muffin cups.
  • Mix 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted margarine together in a bowl with a fork until crumbly, adding more flour and brown sugar as necessary until crumb topping has desired consistency. Sprinkle topping over each muffin cup.
  • Bake in preheated oven until filling is set, 12 to 15 minutes.
