Short Paste No 6 Recipe

Three quarters of a pound of butter, and the same of flour; mix the

flour very stiff with a little water; put the butter in a clean cloth,

and press it thoroughly to get from it all the water. Then roll out all

the flour and water paste, and lay the butter upon it, double over the

paste, and beat it with a rolling-pin. Double it up quite thick, lay it

in a clean plate, and put it in a cool place for an hour. If it is not

light when tried in the oven, it must be beaten again.
