A simple recipe for a hot water pie crust:

1lb flour
3oz lard, or butter and lard mixed
10 fl. oz. water or beer
1 tsp salt

Put the water or beer and lard in a pot and bring to the boil, and put 
the flour in a large bowl. Pour the hot liquid into the flour and mix to 
combine.  Knead the dough until smooth. Mould while still warm.
