- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
1 ¼ cups flour (divided)1 cup whole wheat pastry flour½ tsp nutmeg¼ tsp baking powder1 tsp sea salt5.8 oz (about ¾ cup) lard1/3 cup ice water1 tbsp rice vinegar
In a large bowl with a pastry blender or two knives, cut lard into flour and salt until particles are the size of small peas.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the water and the vinegar, whisk until smooth.
Pour all at once into lard/flour mixture; stir with a fork just until the ingredients are combined.
Divide dough in half, wrap each in plastic wrap and chill a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight (I tried skipping this once - don't!).
Roll out and bake as your recipe directs.
