I would not be surprised if this were Great Great Grandma Russell's recipe. It's been in my family forever. It's the one mom, Aunt Dawn, Aunt Eth and Aunt Laura ("The Girls") used, and it's the one Grandma gave me when I asked for a pie crust recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 c lard (I use shortening it makes it flakier, besides, "the girls" started using shortening when they baked for their own familes) shopping list
- 1/4 c boiling water shopping list
- 1 1/2 c flour shopping list
- 1 tsp salt shopping list
- 1/2 tsp baking powder shopping list
How to make it
- Have lard (shortening) at room temperature, put in bowl and add boiling water.
- Stir with a fork until creamy.
- Add flour, sifted with salt and baking powder

I still use crisco, you just can't beat it for pie crusts, biscuits and cornbread! I remember my grandmother having those big buckets of lard. Fantastic post!
