POTPIE Dough

List of Ingredients




2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons lard [yes, LARD!!]
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup water

Combine dry ingredients. Cut the lard into the flour mixture until the pieces
are very fine. Lightly stir in the beaten egg and water.

Roll out very thin on floured board. Cut into 2-inch squares with knife or
pastry wheel.

Drop into boiling broth with meat and potatoes. [Well! I guess that Mother's
recipe was a real PA-Dutch one; however like I said, it was always kinda soupy.]
Cook 20 minutes.

Now the book goes on to give the recipe for Potpie II, which is the "slippy
kind"--no baking powder; Potpie III which is LOADED with black pepper; and Potpie
IV which is more like noodle dough.
