Alice's Pie Crust

Submitted by startnover

"Another great recipe from my 5th grade teacher/ranch cook. This is an old fashioned recipe that calls for lard which you can find in most baking isles at the store. Do not substitute because that gives it the crusts flaky texture. It will remind you of grandma's."
