Easy As Piel Ethel Diedrichsen, Extension Nutritionist ' Big, deep fruit pies, fluffy chiffon pies and delicate cream pies are all favorites throughout the United States. A tender, flaky crust, beautifully brown, is the key to pastry success. The choice of ingredients, the method of mixing and handling, and the baking temperature also affect the final result. Many kinds of fat produce good pastry. Corn and cottonseed oils, and chicken fat make the most tender pastry, but the crust is usually crumbly and difficult to handle unless special precautions are taken. Among the plastic or solid fats, lard has the greatest shortening power. The new improved hydrogenated fats are easy to use and yield very tender, flaky pie crusts. The fat should be cold enough to measure ac<;:urately and to blend with the flour. Home rendered lard should be chilled before using. - Chilling of other fats may be necessary in warm weather, but usually fat at room temperature will give good results. In general, increasing the fat results in a more tender pastry. Increasing the water decreases the tenderness. Too much mixing of fat and flour tends to give a crumbly, less-flakypastry. All-purpose flour made from hard wheat tends to give a flaky crust. Soft wheat flour gives a crumbly crust. Fat may be cut into the flour with a fork or a pastry blender, or with knives. You may also blend it lightly with the fingers. The dough may be rolled as soon as it is mixed, but allowing it to stand for a few minutes increases the elasticity of the dough and makes it e.asier to handle. You can avoid excessive shrinkage by fitting the dough loosely in the pan. Rerolling tends. to cause shrinkage. Close pricking with a fork will prevent blistering or puffing when the pastry shell is baked. You can protect the lower crust in fruit pies by following one or more of the suggestions below: Use a hot oven for the first 10 minutes of baking. Thicken the filling before placing in pastry-lined pans. Spread a little of the dry sugar and flour ove.r the bottom crust before adding the fruit. Coat the surface with melted butter or oil.

-3- Piain SINGLE CRUST DOUBLE CRUST PASTRY MIX 1 cup sifted 1 1/2 c ups sifted 7 cups sifted all-purpose flour all-purpose flour all-purpose flour 3 / 4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons salt 1/ 4 to 1/3 c up shortening* 3/8 to 1/2 cup shortening* 1 pound {2 cups) 2 1/ 2 tablespoons cold water 4 tablespoons cold water shortening *The smaller amount of shortening is preferred when home rendered lard is used. R e gular Method - Mix flour and salt. Add shortening and blend with pastry blender or fork until mix ture looks like coarse meal. Sprinkle water over the surface and toss quicklj with a fork until mixture sticks together. Form pastry into smooth ball. Easy Method - Mix flour and salt. Blend shortening with an equal amount of flour with a spoon until no dry particles of flour remain in the bottom of the bowl { 1 to 2 minutes) Add the rest of the flour-salt mixture and cut it in with the edge of the spoon until the flour-fat particles s top getting smaller and start getting larger (1 to 2 minutes). Add water a ll at onc e and s tir just until a ball of dough is formed and the bowl is clean. Mix - Use either method for mixing the flour, salt and shortening. and store ih c overed jar until needed. Keep jar in the refrigerator if home rendered lard is used. For a one - crust pie, use 1 1/4 cups of the mix and 3 tablespoons water. For a twocrust pie, use 2 1/4 CUi)S of the mix with 1/3 cup water. Place ball of dough on lightly floured board or pastry canvas and roll in a circle 1 inch large r than the pan on all sides. Transfer dough to a pie plate and finis h in one of the.following ways: Single-Crust Pies - Trim off s urplus pastry, leaving 1/2 inch all around. Fold the edge under and crimp it, pressing it firmly against the rim of the pan. For a pie shell, prick the bottom and sides with a fork at least every 1/2 inch to prevent blisters. Bake shell at 450 forabout12to15 minutes. For a custard-type pie, pour the filling into an unbaked crust, and bake the pie accordi'ng to the directions for the filling. Double-Crust Pies - Fill the pie with the prepared filling. Moisten the edge of the lower crust with water. Cut several slashes in the top crust to allow escape of steam. Put the topcrust in place leaving 1/2 inch beyond edge of pan. Fold top edge under lower edge. Press together and flute the edges. A lattice top made by weaving strips of pastry together may be used in place of top crust. Bake the pie according to directions for the filling, usually 450 for about 10 minutes and then at reduced heat, a- bout 350, until the filling is done.

-4- Edgings 1. Diagonal flute: Place forefingers 1/4 inch apart in diagonal position, then push right forefinger gently toward left to make rounded flute. Repeat each 1/2 inch around edge. 2. Pinch flute: Use forefingers and thumb to make pie crust point on outer edge, pushing center outward with right forefinger. Repeat in half-inch spaces. Sharpen points by pinching. 3. Leaf: Snip pie crust rim at an angle 1/4 inch apart. Turn ba.ck in opposite directions. 4. Turret: Cutpie crust edge at 1/2-inch intervals. Fold alternate squares under. 5. Braided: Cut 3 strips of pastry 1/4 inch wide and braid. Place on pie crust rim; press down lightly. Meringues, I J For 8-inch pie 2 egg whites 1 I 4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional) 4 tablespoons sugar For 9-inch pie 3 egg whites 1 I 4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional) 6 tablespoons sugar Beat whites with cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in sugar a little at a time. Continue beating until thick and glossy. Place mounds of meringue around edge of filling and spread so it touches the crust all around. Heap the rest in the center. For an attractive top, make swirls with the back of a spoon. Bake at 400 from 8 to 10 minutes. Cool gradually, away from drafts. Tarts and Tidbits Fit left-over pastry over the back of large muffin pans, pinching it into pleats to make it fit snugly. Or cut 5-inch squares and arrange inside the muffin pan, letting the corners stand upright. Other tarts are made by cutting pastry roundswitha31/2-inchbiscuitcutter. Remove centers from half the circles. Bake on cookie sheet and put together with fruit filling. Delicious tidryits to serve with tea or salad are made by spreading a sheet of pastry with grated cheese, or with sugar and cinnamon. Cut into fancy shapes and bake. To make attractive pin wheels spread pastry with a mixture of butter, brown sugar, and nuts. Roll up like a jelly roll, slice 1/4 inch thick and bake.
