|
1. Sieve the flour and salt. Heat the lard in the water and bring once to the boil.
|
2. Add the flour and stir to a dough with a wooden spoon; when the dough is cool enough to handle, line a pie dish as quickly as possible (or if preferred, make several small pies).
|
3. Mould into shape without rolling the dough.
|
4. Add the filling, season and cover with a pastry top.
|
5. Bake in a hot oven (450°F) for the first 10 minutes, and then continue to bake in a moderate oven (375°F) until the pie is golden brown.
|
6. Serve hot.

It is essential to work quickly when shaping this pastry, for it hardens as it cools.
