As American as apple
pie. I hope that the person
who first said those words
was thinking in the sense
of North American!. What
could be more Canadian
than apple pie? or blueber-

The one thing these -'all have in common is pastry. That sub-
stance, which depending on its use, is made in varyingpropor-
tions &Om flour, shenening, salt tend liquid. Egg yolk or vine-
-s aris-oomething
Plain pastry has the shortening cut into it before adding the
liquid. The richer more decadent puff pastries have the shoft-
ening -added a little -at a time between layers of pastry. This
causes the steam tote trapped during baking causing the pas-
try to.puffand-be flaky.

Canadian girls weren't eligible for marriage until they could
make pie -pastry, then this happily 'married .mother of ° three
wouldn't -be!
Most -people learn pastry making at their grandmother's or
mother's knee. (or kitchen table as the case maybe.) Not so
this person. If it didn't come in a box. (just add water and stir)
tor ready prepared and frozen pastry just wasn't seen in our
home.
However, all things change, and I have finally found what
for me is the definitive pastry recipe. And where do I keep this
gem? Its stuck inside one of my cookbooks, written on the
back of a programme from a volleyball tournament. My hus-
band picked it up. He's not -one to :let the opportunity slip.by,
not when it has 'something to do with the joys of eating. He
happened to sample some delicious tarts and immediately
asked for the pastry recipe and brought it home to me. It's mar-
velous, you can tall it out any number of times, and for me
that could be several. and there is enough for five lemon pies,
or pumpkin two and half apple pies or cherry pies or raspberry
pies or .. .
5 cups all purpose flour
1 pound shortening (I .use Crisco)
3 tbsp sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp vinegar
1/2 cup cold water
Add the sugar to the flour and cut in the shortening._ Lightly
beat the egg and add -the vinegar and the water to it. Mix itall.:
togetherand form into a ball. It will roll outbetter if you chill
it forabout an hour in the refrigerator. I never have time for
that but use it right away. Roll it out on a floured board..,
