Hot-Water Pie Crust

Method

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour and salt to combine.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, combine lard or suet and water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; when fat has melted completely, immediately pour it over dry ingredients. Using a flexible spatula, stir mixture until it forms a shaggy dough.

3. 3

   When dough is cool enough to handle, use your hands to shape it into a mass. Flip dough onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until it becomes a smooth dough, about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Use dough immediately in any recipe calling for a hot water crust. To roll dough, place it between two 13-by-18-inch pieces of parchment and roll to desired thickness.
