Hello:

I'm a guy who's having trouble with pie crust.

I don't have a lot of experience.

Here's the list of ingredients:

- 2 cups flour sifted with 1 tsp. salt
- 3/4 cup shortening or 2/3 cup lard
- 4 to 5 tbsp. ice water

I have tried making this twice, but not with lard.

The dough is mixed as the instructions say then refrigerated for a few
hours as I prepare other things. Then I try to roll out the crust and
that's when problems arise. No matter what I roll out on, waxed paper
or just a wooden board made for pastry, the crust cracks and
disintegrates, sticks to the rolling pin and/or the paper or board no
matter how much flour I use.

It's a mess.

Can anyone un-mess me?

Thank you.
