Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, whisk flour with salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter and lard until mixture resembles fine crumbs with a few larger pieces. In liquid measure, beat egg yolk with vinegar; mix in enough ice water to make 1/3 cup (75 mL). Drizzle over dry ingredients, stirring briskly with fork until dough clumps together.
Press into disc. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Or wrap in heavy-duty foil or enclose in resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Let cold or thawed dough stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before rolling.)
