Preparation
- Step 1
Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
- Step 2
Cut in butter until it is the size of large peas.
- Step 3
Add water tablespoon by tablespoon; knead lightly to form a dough and chill before using.
- Step 4
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Step 5
To make pastry lids for pies, divide dough into 4 portions and roll each portion into a round ⅛ inch thick. Crumple 16 pieces of foil into large marble-size pieces and spread melted butter over them to prevent pastry from sticking to foil. Place each pastry round on top of 4 pieces of crumpled foil and bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. It may be necessary to turn over the pastries to brown on both sides.
