APPLE PASTY (or TURNOVER)

Make a short crust with half a pound of flour, two ounces of butter, two ounces of lard, and a little salt. Rub the butter thoroughly into the flour, mix it with very little water, and roll it out thin on the pastry-board. Stamp out with a small cup-plate as many rounds as you wish to make pasties. Moisten the inside of the round; lay stewed apples, sweetened and flavoured, on one half, and lift the other half right over it. Press the edges, and bake in a quick oven. A plain and very nice crust may be made with good beef dripping and a little baking-powder. Time to bake, a quarter of an hour. This will make a dozen pasties. Serve one or two for each persons. Probable cost, 1d. each.
