My grandmother (grammie) taught me how to make pastry when I was little. Even though she can't make it anymore, everytime I make some for an apple pie, I always remember us making it together. She was taught the recipe by her mom so it is a family thing. Hope you enjoy! This makes enough for about 2 big pies dessert or dinner. It also stores in the freezer for later up to 2 months.

Measure out flour and salt into a large bowl, mix together.

Using a knife, shave the lard into chunks into the same bowl.

Using a pastry blender, work the mixture, turning the bowl as you go until it comes through the pastry blender in sheets.

Gradually add the ice water, small amounts at a time, while continuously passing a knife through the pastry while turning the bowl. "Knife" until the pastry is lumped together.
