All pastry should be made in a cool place and as quickly as possible. It should be mixed with ice Avater, on a marble slab, if you have one, rolled with a glass rolling pin, the shortening, whether lard or butter, should be fresh and cohl. Very little water should be used in the mixing. A quick oven is necessary for almost all kinds of pies. To keep the crust from being heavy on the bottom, brush it over with a little beaten white of egg. Brush over the outside top crust of pies with melted butter just before you i)ut them in the oven, when the pie is about ready to take from the oven, brush over the top with well-beaten white of egg, sift a little pow^dered sugar over it and return to the oven a few minutes to set the glaze; it must be carefully watched while glazing or it will burn. This is for fruit pies. For meat pies the top may be glazed with one yolk of egg and a tablespoonful milk mixed. You can also use the white for these pies, omitting the sugar.
