An easy delicious dessert or snack! Yes, this crust has lard......I absolutely agree....it is NOT healthy. It does, however, make the tastiest, most tender crust you will ever have.........and if you don't eat it all the time, it's okay once in awhile. Read more Prep time includes crust prep. See less
