Hot Water Crust Pastry
Another one in the line of "write this down so you don't have to look it up every time": the basic recipe for hot water crust pastry.
450g plain flour
1 tsp salt
200g lard
225ml water and milk, mixed in equal quantities.
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Heat the milk and water in a pan with the lard until it boils. Pour the mixture into the bowl and beat well until it is smooth. If you can handle the heat, put the mixture on a pastry board and knead until smooth. (It's like cuddling a Shar-Pei puppy...)
