Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup shortening or 1 cup lard
  • 3/4 cup ice water (the colder the better!)

Directions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
  2. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water a little at a time, tossing with a fork to make a pastry-like dough.
  4. Add a bit more water if it seems dry and won't hold together when squeezed lightly.
  5. Gather into a ball, press firmly now, then wrap with plastic wrap and chill while preparing the pasty ingredients (see Recipe # ).
  6. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface (or on top of a piece of plastic wrap which can easily be folded over and then peeled off once the pasty ingredients are loaded).
  7. Edges of pasty should be brushed with a smidgen of water and then crimped VERY firmly with a fork (and I fold them and crimp again - so none of the liquid seeps out).
  8. Brush tops of finished pasties with milk to enhance the crust (it will bake to a beautiful golden brown).
  9. NOTE: Like pastry dough, pasty dough should be handled as LITTLE as possible to ensure flakiness. So, *handle with care* !
