One pound two ounces flour, one pound butter, one tumbler full of ice water. Take half of the flour, and mix it with a quarter pound of the butter, and the ice water, working it with a knife and not touching it with the hand. Flour the board, turn out the paste, dredge it thickly with flour, and roll it quite thin. Then take another quarter pound of butter and spread it over the paste, dredging it again with flour, and folding in the sides and ends. In this manner roll and spread the butter and flour until all is used. Always roll paste from you, and do not touch it with the hand except when obliged. Put it in a cold place until ready for use. Very fine.
