Plain Pastry (Contributed by a Confectioner's Daughter)

1 pound Five Roses flour ¼ pound butter ½ pound lard (Little more flour for rolling pin and board) Cold water.

Work lard through flour with fingers.

Use enough cold water to stick paste together, then turn out on board. Roll with rolling pin and spread on the butter a little at a time. Then fold over and roll again, repeating this process until all the butter is used up. If richer pastry is desired, use ½ pound of butter.
