Chopped Paste Recipe

Ingredients for Chopped Paste

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 2/3 cup butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Cold water

Instructions

1. Wash butter.
2. Mix salt with flour, put in chopping tray, add shortening and butter, and chop until well mixed.
3. Moisten to a dough with cold water.
4. Toss on floured cloth (Magic Cover), pat, and roll out.
5. Fold so as to make three layers, turn half-way round, pat, and roll out; repeat.
6. Should the butter be too hard, it will not mix readily with the flour, in which case the result will be a tough crust.
7. Omit shortening, and use all butter, if preferred.
