I find most recipes either shrink or are not flaky. I was experimenting with pork lard from the friend and was pleasantly surprised how flaky and that the dough did not shrink

I only need one pie crust. Would it be okay to wrap the other two dough balls in saran wrap and keep in the fridge a couple of days? I plan on making one pie on Monday and the other two on Wednesday.

Absolutely perfect so tender and flakey beautiful taste this is my go too, thank u so much. Finding and making the holy grail pie crust is a task I used to do half butter half lard no more. This dough was so nice to work with, ppl u won’t be disappointed.

I’ve never baked/cooked with lard before – I’ve seen pig & cow options to buy. Which one? Thank you! I’ve been intimidated to make my own pie crust too & deciding to give it a try before thanksgiving!

Wonderful flaky crust for turkey pot pie. This is a favorite at our house full of turkey hunters. The recipe made enough for double crust pot pie and two blind baked crusts for later.

This looks delicious! I just rendered down 8# of lard and am excited to make my first lard crust this Thanksgiving. I only need one crust, could I freeze the other part for later or would you recommend cutting the recipe down instead?
