In large bowl, sift together flour and salt.

With a pastry blender or two knives cut lard or shortening into flour until the mixture is the size of small peas.

Sprinkle in water a little at a time, tossing with a fork until flour is moistened and dough almost cleans side of bowl.  Form dough into a ball and cut into 6 equal pieces.

On a lightly floured surface roll out each piece with a floured rolling pin, into a 7-8 inch circle.  Fill and bake as directed in recipe you are using.
