Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
- Add the grated lard and mix gently until the mixture resembles fine crumbs with some larger pieces.
- In a measuring cup, whisk the water, vinegar, and eggs together, then pour over the dry ingredients and mix until a ragged dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a clean surface and gently press it into a ball.
- Cut the ball into 4 wedges and form each wedge into a disc.
- Wrap each disc in plastic film and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Roll out the pastry between two sheets of parchment paper, flipping occasionally.
- When the disc is large enough for your pie dish, transfer it using the parchment paper.
- Peel off the parchment paper and position the dough in the pie dish, fixing any cracks as necessary.
