Making a good pie is the test OF
good cooking; but rich pun paste Is
not at all necessary. A well maoe'
f1aky pie crust will, in fact, be mucn
better for the family than the richer
pastry, and with a little experience
and more care even Mrs. NeWlyWeo
should be able to produce specimen
above reproach.
Ingredients for pastry making
should always be cold. A good recipe
for family pie crust is as follows:
Three cupfuls of flour, one OF shorten
ing, and ice water to mix (about three
fourths of a cupfuD. Butter ana
lard, chicken fat and lard or beef drip
pings and lard in equal quantities
make a good shortening.
Always sift the -four and also cnop
the fat into the flour. If f1aky crust
is wanted the shortening must not De
chopped too fine. Sprinkle the water
in a little at a time and toss about
with a fork to mix. Turn on Toured
board, dust with -four and roll back
and forth until the paste is oblong'
and fold over in three layers. Roll
again and fold, when the paste Is
ready, though it will be improved by
setting away in the icebox for an
hour.
The reason why the shortening
should not be cut too small is that III
tie balls of it hardened by the Ice wa
ter mixed with the flour make the
crust faky after the folding and roll
ing. Fat rubbed into -four until II
feels "mealy" makes short piecrust-
Three rollings are as many as this
paste will stand. To press too mucn
breaks the balls of fat while they really
should only be flattened. Otherwise
the paste will not rise and puff up IN
the oven.
Some people use a little baking
powder in piecrust. In that case less
shortening Is required.
Never use a rich paste as an under
crust, because it soaks up the contents
of the pie. Always cut pastry with
very sharp knife. If it Is jagged at all
around the edges the pastry will not
rise SO we'll Cuttings and trimmings
should be used for ornamentation or
smaller dishes. Putting several pieces
together to form one large one is not
a success, although it will answer, OF
course, for the home table.
To give a glazed appearance to
pie, brush over with beaten egg be-
fore putting into the oven. Usually
meat pies are glazed.
Pastry will rise better If put Ice
cold into a hot oven. When the great
est heat is at the bottom the pie will
bake most successfully, because the
paste will puff up from the heat be-
fore the top has a chance to get too
brown.
In making pates roll out the paste
half an inch thick. Cut two rounds
the same size and take a small round
from the center of one. Use the ring
left for laying on the other round.
Brush with water to make 1t stick.
The small round is used for cover
after filling the plate.

ICE CREAM IN FANCY SHAPES
MoIdina Makes DeIIcacy More Appe.
tIzIng and Pleasing to the
Little Folks.

After becoming expert at making
ice cream, the housewife naturally
longs to try her hand at serving it in
fancy molds 1t is we'll to begin on
the common brick or cylinder, and
then experiment on fancy shapes. The
trick lies in very quick, tight packing
of the molds and the deft, skillful
turning out of the shapes at serving
time. Freeze the cream firm and
solid, have a rather shallow tub over
which you can bend easily cover the
bottom to the depth Of about four
inches with cracked ice and rock salt.
Chill the molds, pack them quickly
with the frozen cream and cover the
seams between mo1ds and lid with
strips Of cotton cloth dipped in
melted paraffin This prevents the
entrance of salty water into the
molds.
AS fast as a mold is filled, pack 1t
into the ice and cover them all with
cracked ice, three parts, and coarse
salt one part When serving, hold the
mold under running cold water. wipe
it off carefully, remove the parafln
paper, open the mold quickly with a
cloth dipped in hot water.

Popovers.

One cupful of flour, one-fourth tea
spoonful salt, seven-eighths cupful
milk, and one egg. Mix salt with sift-
ed -four, then gradually add the milk
so the mixture does not become lumpy,
then add the beaten egg and beat with
a Dover egg beaten until the mixture
is full of bubbles. Pour into kissing
hot iron gem pans which have been
we'll buttered and bake In a hot oven
between thirty and thirty-five minutes.
If the popovers become brown too
soon, cover them with a piece of
heavy wrapping paper. Iron gem pans
must be used in place of tin ones,
because the heat is more even.

To sweeten Butter.

To sweeten butter that has turned
a little, place the butter in a porce-
lain dish with little salt and tiny
pinch of baking soda. Place over the
fire and let it boil. Then turn it into
a stone jar and put it in cold place.
When treated in this manner the but
ter will be found perfectly sweet when
cold and not too salty for cooking pur-
poses. The impurities will settle at
the bottom of the jar.-M., Ont.
