Ingredients
- a quart of flour
- a pound of butter
- four parts
Directions
SIFT a quart of flour, leave out a little for rolling the paste, make up the remainder with cold water into a stiff paste, knead it well, and roll it out several times; wash the salt from a pound of butter, divide it into four parts, put one of them on the paste in little bits, fold it up, and continue to roll it till the butter is well mixed; then put another portion of butter, roll it in the same manner; do this till all the butter is mingled with the paste; touch it very lightly with the hands in making — bake it in a moderate oven, that will permit it to rise, but will not make it brown. Good paste must look white, and as light as a feather.
