Lard Paste

Cut some lard into thin slices and roll these in a little flour; continue thus until all the lard and flour are used, then mix in enough cold water to make a soft paste. Lay the paste on a floured cloth and keep it in a cold place for half an hour. After that put it on a floured paste-board and roll it out with a floured rolling-pin to the thickness of one inch. Place the paste again in a floured cloth in a cold place and leave it half an hour longer. Roll the paste out very thin, doubling it over six times. The paste should be touched as little as possible with the hands.
