Lard Pastrv

Mix two tea-spoonfuls of baking-powder and a salt-spoonful of salt with two pounds of fine flour. Put a pound and a half of lard into the centre, stir it briskly with a knife, and keep pouring in cold water very gradually until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Roll the pastry out, and touch it as little as possible with the fingers. Time, a quarter of an hour to prepare. Probable cost of lard, 10d. per pound.
