Ingredients:
Cold water
2 cups of flour
3/4 pound of fat
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of lime juice
1/2 margarine and 1/2 lard or shortening
Directions:
First blend together the 2 kinds of
fat then divide it into four parts.
Add one part of the fat to the flour,
salt and the lime juice.
Rub fat in until the whole looks like
bread crumbs.
Blend the 2 kinds of fat together and
divide it into 4 parts.
Add 1 part of the fat to flour, salt
and the lime juice. Rub in fat until
the whole looks like bread crumbs.
Add enough of the cold water, to make
a fairly soft dough. Lightly roll out
the dough into a rectangular shape on
a floured board.
Place 1/4 of the fat into small parts
or bits over the top 2/3 of pastry.
Fold the pastry bottom to the middle
and top to bottom. Seal the edges with
a rolling pin.
Turn pastry so that the fold is length
wise on the board. Roll out again. Mark
in thirds and repeat steps 5, 6 and 7.
Roll out the dough for a 4th time, mark
and fold as before but without any fat.
Put the dough in a floured plate, cover
and leave in the refrigerator for about
1/2 hour so that the fat cools off. Roll
out and shape as required.
