A good camp pie or tart crust :—Take a breakfast-cupful of flour, one and a half-teaspoonful of Yeatman's powder, four ounces of butter or clarified suet, seven tablespoonfuls of water, and a saltspoonful of salt (a little sugar if for a tart) and proceed in this way :—Mix flour, salt, and baking powder well together and then rub in the butter or suet, add the water and mix quickly, then roll out and cover the dish, which with the meat or fruit should be ready for covering before the paste is com- menced. This can, of course, be glazed with a beaten egg in the usual manner, or, if a tart, some finely sifted white sugar can be dusted over the wetted surface of the paste after cooling.
