Easy Pie Baking Mixes
by Mrs. Richard C. Spence
A pastry mix that can be made ahead of time and stor
ed easily is the perfect answer to quick pie baking and de
lightfully different desserts. Of course, the pastry mix
you make yourself is not on’y a time saver, but features
the wonderful “home-rade” qualities that go along with
home-mixed pastry.
Successful pie bakers know
that it is the crust that
makes the pie, A tasty filling
is important but it is the
tender, flavor- baked pastry
that wins the compliments.

will no doubt insist on'lots
of them. When using the
home-prepared mix in a reci
pe, spoon it into the cup to
