adding a little lemon-juice and half a teacup of water. Rub the butter well into the flour till it appears like bread- crumb ; no salt, as it prevents paste rising. When butter is well rubbed in add the liquid, stirring with a knife or metal spoon ; always add liquid on dry part of flour and get it into one large lump ; sprinkle board with rice-flour, and roll out ; the lemon-juice is added to keep the butter hard ; No baking powder unless paste is to be eaten same day ; roll well, be- ginning in the middle ; now cut paste into long strips wide enough to reach from edge of pie-dish to the bottom ; put cut edge to outside ; place the strips in the dish after butter- ing the side and bottom well ; wet the edges ; ornament with leaves, giving them slight twist.
