Want Good Pastry?

An old saying goes that "A pie
is as good as its crust" No truer
words were ever spoken. Unless the
crust is short, tender and f1aky, the
juiciest berries or most luscious fruit
can do nothing for the pie. Here are
the rules:
l. Keep all ingredients and bowls
well chilled.
2. Don't work over the piecrust.
The laZier you are, the better the
crust.
3. Use minimum of water for
moistening.
