Making Homemade Pie Crust

i render fat from leaf lard bought at the union square greenmarket. it's easy, you just kind of cut it up, turn it on, it melts. i use about 3 tablespoons to 7 of butter. half and half is too much, the crust will exude grease at that point. 3 is even pushing it but it has been giving me great results.
