Hot Water Crust

 (Untested. I will try this one the next time I am making Kiwi pies for my New Zealand friends)


10.62 oz. AP Flour

2.12 oz. Bread Flour

3 g Salt

2.66 fl oz. Water

4.00 oz. Butter

4.00 oz. Lard


1. Whisk the flours and salt together in a large bowl.

2. In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the butter and lard until melted. Keep hot.

3. Make a well in the center of the flour. Add the water and mix until you have a shaggy ball of dough.

4. Knead for 2-3 minutes on a clean dry surface.

5. Roll out between two sheets of parchment paper.

6. Press into pan(s) as needed.
