How to Make Hot Water Pastry

Hot Water Pastry: Add Flour

Add 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. flour and 1/4 tsp. salt all at once. Stir vigorously with your fork as the flour begins to be absorbed into the shortening and water mixture. Keep stirring; it will seem like the dough won't combine; just keep going. When the dough looks like the picture, you're about halfway there.
