Pastry ...Simply the Best (enough for 4 double crusts)

1 lb. Crisco, soft
1 lb. Lard, soft
1/2 lb. butter, chilled
11 Cups flour
1 Tbsp. salt,
1 1/2 - 2 Cups very cold water

Cut fat into salt and flour until mixture resembles peas, slowly add 1 1/2 cups water (you may require more depending on density of flour). Divide into 4 pkgs. Let rest in the fridge 20 mins. before rolling. This pastry rolls beautifully and is perfect for sweet or savory dishes.
