Baked Dishes

Over the years my most favouite pastry receipe was the Tenderflake Perfect Pastry.
35 years ago we had given out the receipe at our Tupperware Parties when I sold it.
Later the receipe came out on their box of lard.
So if you have not tried it please do. It has not changed over the years.



REFRIGERATOR PASTRY

Place 1 lb lard in a mixing bowl
cut in pieces and pour 1 cup boiling water over and let stand
Stir until mixed and add 4 cups flour, 1 cup at a time

adding 2 tsp of BP and 1/4 tsp salt.

Cover and place in frig until the next day.
You can use all of it or just a piece of it, for tarts or pies.
When you roll the doe out on the floured board you will know if you need a little more flour to add to it.

This receipe is just great for sausage rolls. All you need to do is take a lb of sausage meat spread it out on the rolled doe, roll it up and pinch the ends and bake as usuall. These sell great at bake sales.
Make small ones and serve as odourves,

DELISIOUS MEAT PIE

In a bowl mix 5 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp Baking Powder
3 tbsp Brown sugar

To this mixture add 1 lb lard, cut in until pea size.

In a 1 cup measuring cup beat with fork 1 egg
2 tsp vinegar and add enough cold water to make 1 cup
Work this mixture up and divide into 4 equal parts
Each part is sufficient for a 2 crust pie.
Wrap in plastic and store in refrig for 1 or 2 weeks. Store in freezer to have a continuing supply.

FILLING FOR INDIVIDUAL MEAT PIES

In a frying pan sautee 1 chopped onion and 1 drained can of mushrooms with a little oil
Add one lb lean hamburg and fry until cooked turning often and cutting it up. When cooked drain off excess fat
Add 1 cup frozen peas
Make a gravy by adding about 1 1/2 cups of water to pan and 1 tsp Kitchen Bouquet Browning and seasoning sauce,
1 tsp flour to thicken and S&P.
Make sure there is lots of gravy so that the pie is not to dry.

Roll out the doe on a floured board and cut into size for pies, depending on what size of foil dishes you use.
After putting the bottom crust in pans, spoon mixture into pie and add a top crust.
flut the edges and prick with fork.
Using pastry brush spread a little milk over top and a little sugar.
Bake at 400 until crust is brown.
These can be frozen in plastic containers and brought out when needed.
These are great to have on hand when unexpected relatives come in.
