Christmas Tarts Recipe

Instructions

1. The foundation for these pastry tidbits is usually puff paste, but the following simpler paste may be used: Mix and sift together two cups of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder and a saltspoon of salt.
2. Work in a cup of butter with the tips of the fingers.
3. When the mixture is as fine as meal, stand it aside an hour or more to chill.
4. Then take out half a cup and to the remainder add cold water gradually to make a stiff dough.
5. Knead slightly, turn on a floured board and roll into a long, narrow strip.
6. Sprinkle the dough with half of the reserved mixture and fold so as to make three layers.
7. Turn half way round with the open end toward you, roll again into a strip, sprinkle with the remaining mixture and fold as before.
8. Roll and fold twice more, and the pastry is ready to use.
9. Roll into a thin sheet and cut into various shapes, as hearts, circles, strips and diamonds.
