PASTRY DOUGH FOR PIES
- Flour, 1 pint.
- Butter, 3 tablespoonfuls, rounding full,
- or, Olive oil, ½ cup.
- Salt, 1 teaspoonful.
- Cold water, 6 tablespoonfuls.
Chop the butter in the flour, add the water and salt, and without mixing turn upon the board. Roll out and double over three times. Then roll out again and double. Continue this till the crust is smooth; then roll out very thin and roll as for jelly cake. Cut into two pieces, stand each piece on end, and roll out one for the top and the other for the bottom crust.
