Pastry

  • 16 ounces flour
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 4 ounces lard
  • 4 ounces ice water
  • 1 tsp salt
Mix the lard and butter in the flour with a large, flat knife. Add the ice water. Be careful not to touch it with the hands.

Take it up in a mass and roll, roll, roll it out quickly, not too thin. Cut it with a very sharp knife around the edges of the patty pans.

When intending to bake lemon puddings or cheese cakes, let the pastry bake for 4-5 minutes before adding butter as this prevents the pastry from being heavy at the bottom. In the summer, it is best to put 20 ounces of flour instead of 16.
