EASY
PASTRY
A departure from the usual
kind of pastry is easy pastry, directions for which are given in the accompanying
recipe. It is more moist and a little more difficult to handle than pastry
made in the usual way; consequently, it is more ideal for single-crust
pies than for double-crust ones. Besides being easy to make, pastry of
this kind will stand a great deal more handling without injury than any
other kind. It may be placed on the pan and patted out where it seems too
thick or patched where it pulls apart. The amounts given here will make
one double-crust pie or two single-crust pies of medium size.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fat
1/4 cup boiling water
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
- Measure the fat into a mixing
bowl, pour the boiling water over it, and stir until all the fat is softened
and melted.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir
into the water and fat. Divide into two portions and roll for crusts.
NOTE: If
the crusts are to be baked before they are filled, prick them well with
a fork to prevent the formation of bubbles. |
