The making Of faky pastry u an
art not difficult to acquire. Success
lies In the mixing and handling Of
the dough rather than In the proper
lions OF materials used. Recipes for
pastry may differ and produce equally
GOOD results. Proper manipulation Of
the dough Ia the knack that must be
acquired
A rule to be remembered In pastry
making Il that only light hands make
good pastry. Fine white 6our makes
the lightest pastry, but this 70 not
necessary except for pun paste Ordi-
nary household -four can be used.
All fours, with their raising. should
be thoroughly sifted and aerated be
fore mixing, butter and lard may be
used In equal proportions and pure
vegetable buffers or fats are excellent
Heavily salted cooking butter should
be avoided. as It Is likely to have q
strong taste Time and trouble Will
be saved in the mixing II the fat, when
at all hard. Is first beaten to cream.
All pastry should be mixed with
very cold water. The board and pin
should be Toured lightly and the dough
rolled out with short, sharp rolls; hit
the pin constantly and never 90 over
the edges Pastry should be handled
as little as possible, and the first that
Il rolled Is the best Bake In hot
oven. no that It may rise quickly; open
the oven door only when necessary.
and be careful not TO bang II when
closing.
Here Is an English recipe for pas
try, with directions for mixing It:
HALF pound Of -four, four ounces
Of butter or other fats, enc teaspoon
full Of baking powder. Sift the nour
and baking powder well together and
add salt to taste. Cream the butter or
fat on a plate and divide II into four
parts Rub one-Quarter lightly into
the -four. When fine pour little wa
ter into the center. use knife for
mixing and make an elastic dough
Flour the board and pin and roll the
paste into long strip. Put on anoth.
er portion OF the fat In little dabs,
sprinkle with -four. cut into three strips
and lay one on top Of the other. pound
with the pin and roll out again. Re
peat this performance until the fourth
portion OF butter Is used
The pastry then Is ready for use.
Roll II out again. cut II In the desired
sizes and bake I'm hot oven. Flaky
