Makes 8oz

• 1 and ¾ cups of unsifted all-purpose flour
• ½ level teaspoon fine sea-salt
• ½ stick of lard
• ½ stick unsalted butter
• 2-3 tablespoons of cold water

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.  Add the butter and lard and ‘rub in’ until you have something approaching fine breadcrumbs.  Keep it all light.

Sprinkle the water over and mix the dough with a round bladed knife until it starts to form lumps.  Bring together to form a ball.  Lightly knead until it is smooth and flatten into a disc.  Chill for a minimum of 30 minutes.
