Pie Crust with Potato

Ingredients

• 8 oz. mashed potatoes
• 1 to 14 oz. fat
• 4 oz. ground rice
• 4 oz. self-raising flour

Method

1. 1

   Rub the fat into the mashed potatoes; when thoroughly blended add the ground rice and let rest for a while, so that the rice can absorb sufficient moisture.

2. 2

   Then add the self-raising flour and make into a short paste.

3. 3

   If too dry add a little moisture, but that is very seldom required.

4. 4

   Be careful not to moisten too much.

5. 5

   It is best to keep the paste fairly firm, otherwise it will be tough.

6. 6

   Roll out, using ground rice for the purpose, then cover the pie in the usual manner.
