SECRET OF GOOD PIE CRUST.
Given the Right ingredients, the Rest
Depends on Proper Use of the
Rolling Pin.

The second secret OF good pie crust
lies in the proper use of the rolling

there is any superstition about it, but

ward and sidewise to keep the dough
in an oblong shape. AS soon as the
dough is one-quarter of an inch thick
fold 1t lengthwise with one-third un.
der and one-third over the middle
third. Turn half way round and fold
in thirds in the same way. Now pat
out thin again. Fold and pat out form
five to seven times to make paste very
light, stopping to chill it If 1t grows
in the least bit soft and greasy. Each
folding makes numerous layers that
inclose air. After the last patting out
roll the paste up like jelly roll, cut
thin slice from the end and pat out
round to fit plate, handling as little
as possible. Plan to have as few trim
m1ngs as possible and keep them sep
arate, or at least never use them for
top crusts. The old saying that it is
a poor pie that will not grease its own
plate is entirely true, for there is no
need of preparing plate for it's crust.
