SUGGESTIONS FOR PASTRY

Whole wheat makes a more tasty crust than bread flour and all rye pastry has even better flavor than wheat flour pastry. Half wheat or rye and the other half cornmeal (white or yellow) makes an excellent pastry for meat or fish pie. If cornmeal is added, use this recipe:

CORNMEAL PASTRY FOR MEAT OR FISH

½ cup cornmeal

½ cup rye or wheat flour

2 tablespoons fat

⅓ cup cold or ice water

1 teaspoon baking powder

Sift dry ingredients. Cut in fat. Add water and roll out on well floured board.
