I could never make a good pastry until I got this recipe from my sister, and I don't know where she acquired it. This freezes well and because it makes several pies it's great to have in the freezer all the time.

2 -4 pies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 cups flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb cold margarine
1/2 lb cold lard
3/4 cup ice cold water
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons cold vinegar

Directions

1
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
2
Cut in margarine and lard.
3
Mix water, egg yolk and vinegar together.
4
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixing well.
5
This can then be wrapped and frozen or used immediately.
