 I believe you do. When I email attached that zip-file of my recipe 
 base that was part of it. I add recipes almost daily, though.
 
My mother and grandmother made pie pastry using lard or Crisco 
shortenting .... which had the advantage of not going rancid during
the dog days of summer. The bacon grease was an "expedient" that my 13
year old mind came up with since there was no Crisco nor lard in the 
house. I reasoned that lard was pig fat - and so was bacon dripping.

These days I stock Butter Flavoured Crisco. Which is also good for use
in popping corn.

  necessary.)
  
  Gather pastry into ball; shape into flattened round on

  into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim
  edge of pastry 1" from rim of plate. Fold and roll pastry
