For pie crust:Cut cold lard into flour and salt using food processor or pastry blender (I think grandma used 2 forks), add ice water until dough comes together. Rest in refrigerator for 1/2 hour, then roll out. This is easier if you do it between 2 sheets of parchment or wax paper. For Pot Pie filling:Cook butter and flour to make roux. Add warmed water/chicken stock and cook until slightly thickened, add spices and chicken base (if using), add carrots and onions and cook for several minutes to soften, add chicken, celery, peas, add cream. Add to a prepared pie crust.
