Directions:
Combine flour and salt. Cut in lard with a pastry blender or your fingers until the pieces are about the size of peas.
In a measuring cup combine vinegar and egg, then add ice-cold water to make 1 cup of liquid. Gradually add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork.
Gather into a ball and refrigerate until ready to use, or roll and cut into pie shells.
I gather mine into 6 small balls and roll between parchment paper into 6 pie crusts. I use them immediately or else set them between parchment paper circles in a plastic pie saver, which I freeze for future use. It will keep a couple of days in the refrigerator, but no longer. it is great to have pastry ready for an almost instant dessert.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is the recipe printed on the Tenderflake Lardİ box. It is almost impossible to have a failure as it can be gathered up and re-rolled if necessary.
The best pastry of all is made using this recipe and lard from a bear rather than a pig.
