Have all the material cold; put the flour and salt into a chopping bowl; add the shortening (half butter and half lard) and chop into pieces the size of a pea ; moisten the pastry with ice water, mixing lightly with a fork ; turn out on a floured board ; draw together into oblong shape; roll back and forth into an oblong sheet; fold into thirds ; turn half way around and roll back and forth ; fold again and turn half way around and roll out for a third time ; brush off all the surplus flour; roll like a jelly roll; wrap in a napkin and set on ice ; it can be used immediately, or stand on ice until the next day.
