Economy Paste for Pies
|
When both wheat flour and
fat must or wants to be saved, economy paste should be tried. Barley flour is substituted
for part of the wheat flour, and this with the wheat flour makes an excellent
combination.
Ingredients:
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup barley flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 to 3/8 cup cold water
Preparation:
- Sift the flour and salt into
a mixing bowl.
- Chop in the shortening until it is in particles about the
size of a small pea.
- Add water until the mass will cling together.
- Roll
into sheets about 1/8 inch thick for pie crust.
NOTE: Water is the only liquid
used in pastry making. Water should be as cold
as possible, or cold water in which small pieces of ice are allowed to
melt is especially desirable for this purpose.
