- Get the water hot add the lard, salt, and garlic. Don't boil the water just get it hot enough to melt the lard. Cut the lard small pieces so it will melt easier..
- When the lard melts, add flour and stir till it starts forming of a paste. The paste will be fairly easy to work with as long as it is hot so speed is needed here..
- Press the warm hot water crust paste into a greased muffin or pie mould.Try to press it into and even thickness..
- In each paste-lined moulding, add one of the balls of the meat filling, remove some of the meat mixture if it's too much. Then quickly roll out a small ball of paste into a circle to top the pie..
