Recipe 1207
===========

Ingredients
-----------
1-1/4 lb. of flour, 1/2 lb. of butter, rather more than 1/2 pint of water.

Method
------
Rub the butter lightly into the flour, and mix it to a smooth paste with the water; roll it out 2 or 3 times, and it will be ready for use. This paste may be converted into an excellent short crust for sweet tart, by adding to the flour, after the butter is rubbed in, 2 tablespoonfuls of fine-sifted sugar.
