Instructions

  1. Put these ingredients together: flour, butter, lard, cream, baking powder, and cold water.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, and lard dry, then moisten with the cream and water.
  3. Roll out and spread with butter, twice over.
  4. Bake in a quick oven. This makes most deliciously light puff paste.
