For the pastry add butter and lard to the flour and rub into until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the pepper and stock and slowly add in the water until it forms a dough. I prefer to use my electric mixer as there's less mess.
Roll out to about 5mm thick and place in greased quiche dish. Mine is a large dish, so if you have small dishes it will make 2 but you may need extra filling ingredients. Prick all over with a fork but not right through. This ensures even baking.
Blind bake in the oven for 10 - 15 mins until dry and slightly golden.
Mix the eggs with the milk and add to the pastry case.
Add the seasoning and bacon and spread out evenly.
Top with the grated cheese, paprika and mixed herbs.
Bake in the oven for about 35 - 40 mins, depending on the size of your dish. The quiche shouldn't wobble when ready. Serve your lovely quiche hot or cold.
