Make a hole in the flour, pour the liquid into it. knead until you have an elastic ball of dough. Let it rest for half an hour (not necessarily in the refrigerator).
\nRoll out the dough to a sheet of the desired thickness and drape into a mould or tin, or form a pasty by hand.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Firm shortcrust<\/h2>\n

500 gr (4\u00bc cup) flour
\n2 tsp salt

Mix salt and flour. melt the lard in the boiling water. Make a hole in the flour, pour the liquid into it. knead until you have an elastic ball of dough (use a wooden spoon at first if the dough is too hot to handle). With this dough you can make raised pasties, it is very firm. You can also use it in e.g. a springform, but if you wrap the dough around a large tin or other cylindric form, you can decorate the sides of the pasty.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Medieval shortcrust<\/h2>\n

Some medieval pastry recipes mention ‘dark pasty dough’. Contemporary recipes for dough are rare. Below is a recipe I made up.
\nFor about 1.7 pounds of dough.<\/p>\n

350 gr (3 cup) whole wheat meal
\n150 gr rye flour
\n2 tsp salt
\n90 gr\u00a0lard<\/a>
\n2\u00bd dl (1 cup) boiling water
\n\u00bd tsp cloves
\nblack pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

Mix salt, spices and wheat and rye meal. Melt lard in the boiling water. Make a hole in the flour, pour in the water with lard. Stir with a wooden spoon and knead (if it is still hot, use a spoon here also, or the kitchen machine) until the dough is firm, smooth and elastic. This dough can be used to form high pasties without a mould, it is very firm.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rich dough for medieval pies<\/h2>\n

This dough can be used for a richer crust, because of the egg. The lard can be replaced by butter or suet.
\nFor about 2 pounds of dough.<\/p>\n

500 gr (4\u00bc cup) flour
\n250 gr (1 cup) lard
\n1\u00bd dl (\u2154 cup) water
\n1 egg
\n1 tsp salt<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

Mix flour and salt. Grate the cold lard coarsely and mix with the flour. Rub it with your fingers to a crumbly mass. Beat the egg with the water and add to the flour-lard mixture. Knead lightly, but take care not to work the dough too much, it must remain a little crumbly. When the dough is too dry you can add some water, is it too wet, add some extra flour. Cover the dough and let it rest in a cool place for an hour before using it.<\/p>\n
