Ingredients
  • 2 cups Otto's Cassava Flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup lard, rendered from happy pigs
  • 6 - 8 Tablespoons iced water
Method
  1. Sift your flour into the bowl of your food processor. Add salt. Pulse to mix.
  2. Chop the lard into small pieces and add to the mixer. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle in the iced water and pulse, 1 Tablespoon at a time. You should add enough water that the dough starts to leave the side of the processor.
  4. Wrap in parchment paper and pop into the fridge until ready.
Notes
This pastry is very short due to the lack of gluten or binding agents. It does take a little patience when rolling. Any tears can be easily plugged with a little extra pastry and some TLC!
