Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Cut in butter until it is the size of large peas.

  3. Step 3

    Add water tablespoon by tablespoon; knead lightly to form a dough and chill before using.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  5. Step 5

    To make pastry lids for pies, divide dough into 4 portions and roll each portion into a round ⅛ inch thick. Crumple 16 pieces of foil into large marble-size pieces and spread melted butter over them to prevent pastry from sticking to foil. Place each pastry round on top of 4 pieces of crumpled foil and bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. It may be necessary to turn over the pastries to brown on both sides.
