Pastry for Dinner or Roast
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup cold milk
1 egg (beaten)
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients cutting butter in to make a meal texture. Add milk and egg and mix gently. If too wet just add sprinkling of flour until the right consistency for pressing over meat or in a greased pie plate.
TIP: If a topping for pot pies, I usually roll the pastry out and lay it over top. If it’s only a 9″ or 10″ pie, you might want to cut the recipe in half. While it’s nice to have it thick, you don’t want it to overdo it.
Bake at 375⁰ for approximately 20 to 25 minutes (until golden and slightly crispy)
