List of Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup graham flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
water
1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins or chopped dates
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Sift or blend together flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Stir in graham flour and sugar.
3. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in shortening until crumbly.
4. Break egg into measuring cup and beat with a fork. Pour off about 1 tablespoon into a saucer and fill measuring cup to 2/3 mark with water (I usually use milk, actually...).
5. With a fork, stir this liquid into flour mixture to make a soft, slightly sticky dough.
6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll or pat into a 1/2 inch thick circle, placing in ungreased pie or tart pan. Score top with knife or palette knife.
Brush top with reserved beaten egg. Bake in 450 F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until light golden brown.
7. Serve warm, with butter and/or jam.
