Chopped Paste

Put one quart of pastry-flour, two breakfast cupfuls of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt on a chopping-board and chop them all together until well mixed; add three-fourths of a breakfast cupful of iced-water and continue chopping. When thoroughly mixed, lift the paste, sprinkle the board with flour, then roll the paste out thin on it. The paste is better to stand on ice for a while, as it should be hard before being used.
