Short Pastry

1 pound Five Roses flour ½ pound shortening Ice-cold water Mix flour and shortening into dough with ice-cold water, using only enough to hold it together. It should be so dry that it will not stick to the bowl anywhere.

Turn out on board, and knead only enough to make the ball smooth. It is then ready to put into pie plates. The quantity of shortening is lessened for plainer pastry.
