Directions
Totally Awesome Pie Pastry, This is from a Five Roses Flour Cookbook I have no idea when it was printed; all I could find is ’24th edition’ It is probably older than me over 31 years old; my Father had this cookbook and it was all torn up when I was a kid, but I found one a few years ago at Value Village And of course the original name isn’t Totally Awesome, it is called Standard Pastry
