Crust, Dripping, for Kitchen Pies

Rub six ounces of nicely-clarified beef dripping into a pound of flour. Add a pinch of salt, a small tea-spoonful of baking-powder, and a table-spoonful of sugar. Make the mixture into a stiff smooth paste by stirring cold water into it, and roll it out once only. It is then ready for use. Time to prepare, twenty minutes. Probable cost, 4d. per pound.
