- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.67 cups lard
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 large egg , beaten
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
Instructions

1
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in lard until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

2
Whisk water, egg, and vinegar together in another bowl; add to dry ingredients and stir until dough is thoroughly moistened and forms a ball.

3
Divide dough into fourths; roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a disk.

If using immediately, roll each disk on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie pan, then bake as directed in your recipe.

Crescent Roll Pretzels
A fun recipe to make. Homemade pretzels made with refrigerated crescent dough.
Salmon with Lemon and Dill
Salmon is baked in a lemon dill butter sauce for this wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my aunt. The flavors really complement the fish here. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!
