lard dough pie crust with a bit of butter – using leftover lard

There are only a few ingredients and you can make this dough home and fresh but is indeed a bit of your time and effort needed.

We used the lard we cooked the duck. If your lard changed color and doesn´t have anymore a bright color do not use it.

This crust has a very strong taste of lard. If you wish it to be less strong, maybe put a bit of butter more and less lard.
