Puff Paste Made with Lard

To prepare puff paste with lard use twelve ounces of flour, two ounces of lard, the yolks of two eggs, and about two drachms of salt. Work these into a paste, let it stand for a few minutes, then roll it out, brush over with warm lard, fold the paste in three, roll it out gently again, let it stand for a few minutes, and continue in this way till twelve ounces of lard have been worked into the flour. It is then ready for use in the ordinary way.
