Plain Pastry Recipe

Four cups of sifted flour, one cup of butter, a pinch of salt, three

heaping teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar, two tablespoonfuls of lemon

juice, four tablespoonfuls of ice water and the yolks of two eggs. This

quantity will make two pies. Rub the butter, flour, salt and sugar

together thoroughly, then add the yolks of eggs, lemon juice and water

and work all together into a paste. Put the dough on a pastry board,

divide in four equal parts, roll each part the size required for the pie

plates.
