Pastry (Dorothy)

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. cold water
1 tbsp. vinegar

Mix flour and salt, cut in shortening until crumbly.  In separate bowl, mix together egg, water and vinegar then add to flour mixture.  Roll out on floured board.  Makes one double crust pie.

Jam Roll-ups:  Use leftover pastry to roll into a rectangular shape, spread very thinly with your favourite jam and roll up into a long thin roll.  Brush top of roll with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake on a cookie sheet for 10-12 min.  Cut into bite size lengths.

(Mom made this all the time with the leftover pastry and it was one of my favourite little snacks)
