Mom's Pie Crust

"Mom" here refers to Cleo Turley.  This is her pie crust recipe.  Tauna says that she can never get this recipe to turn out, but it's Nana's nonetheless so we will pass it on because we love Nana.

2/3 C lard
1/3 C boiling water

Pour boiling water over lard and whip with a fork until melted.

Add: 2 C flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Mix lightly and refrigerate in Saran Wrap  before rolling out.  Bake 350 ‘til golden.

"For Thanksgiving, Mom (Cleo) used to make small, individual pie crusts and let us fill our own with different cream fillings---vanilla and chocolate ,and top them with bananas or coconut, and whipped cream." - Tauna Lowe
