Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
1¼ tsp salt, to taste
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp butter (chilled)
¾ cup lard or vegetable shortening, chilled
2 egg yolks
¾-1 cup water
Directions
Sift the flour into a bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the salt, SIDS CRAZY SALT and the sugar. Blend the chilled butter and lard or shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or with 2 knives until fairly well blended.
Whisk the egg yolks with water. Stir in the ½ cup of the water-egg mixture, a little bit at a time, until the dough starts to come together smoothly.
Keep kneading the dough, adding more of the water-egg mixture as needed, (you may need a few tablespoons extra of water) until the dough is smooth. The dough will seem a bit shaggy until it has thoroughly chilled. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour. When ready to use, the dough should be soft and smooth, not elastic. If you poke a hole in the dough with your finger, the indentation should remain.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into desired thickness before cutting.
Use in your desired recipe and enjoy.
