Recipe Instructions

Butter Crust Pastry Dough: In a large, chilled bowl, combine the butter, lard, flour, salt and sugar. With your fingertips rub the flour and fat together until they look like coarse meal. Do not let the mixture become oily. Pour 3 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture all at once, toss together lightly, and gather the dough into a ball. If the dough crumbles, add up to 1 tablespoon more ice water by drops until the particles adhere. Dust the pastry with a little flour and wrap it in wax paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

When chilled, roll out onto floured board into a large rectangle square. Cut into 3 strips approximately 3-inches wide. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet or sponge cake pan. Return to refrigerator while making second layer.

Cream Puff Dough: Heat oven to 400 degrees. In medium saucepan, heat water, butter and salt to rolling boil. Add flour all at once; stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture leaves side of pan and forms a ball.

Remove from heat; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth and velvety. Spoon puff dough onto cut strips of pie dough.

Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Be sure to watch pie dough that it does not burn.

Cool and frost with Icing.

Icing: Mix ingredients together and frost bars.

This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
