Toasted Almond Pastry
Directions
- In a medium bowl stir together flour, almonds, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until flour mixture is moistened. Form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, use hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough from center to edges into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Ease pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim pastry to 1 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp and form a high edge to keep filling from bubbling over. Do not prick pastry.
