    Linde's Kitchen

    List of Ingredients

    2 cups flour
    1 teasp. salt
    6 tablesp. butter
    4 tablesp. cold shortening
    1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water




    Recipe

    Sift flour and salt in a bowl.
    Add the butter and shortening and cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in just enough water to bind the dough.
    Gather into 2 balls and wrap in wax paper and refr. for 20 minutes.
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball 1/8 inch thick. (I roll it between 2 pieces of plastc wrap)Transfer to pie pan, you can prebake the bottom at this point. Let cool, add filling. Roll out remaining dough and cut out leave shapes. Transfer to pie and and flute edges. Mark veins in the dough leaves and place on top. Roll small balls from the scrap and add to top.
    Glaze top of pie. You can use milk or 1 beaten egg with 1 tablesp. water
    (the egg makes it really nice and shiny)
