Never Fail Pie Crust Recipe

Makes enough for about 3 double crusted pies. Fans of this recipe call it the Never Fail pie crust.

Ingredients:
6 cups flour
1 pound package lard
1 teaspoon salt
7 ounces 7UP soda pop

Add salt to flour and sift together. Mix in the lard until mixture resembles small peas. Add the 7Up and mix well. Divide the mixture into small balls, enough in each for a pie crust top or bottom and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until ready to use or use immediately for your favorite pie.

When ready to use, roll out as above. Follow the pie recipe for proper baking times and temperatures.
