Directions:PASTA - Blend flour and salt. Add butter and using pastry
cutter, cut butter into flour until it is roughly pea-sized. Cut

push egg size cups of dough out in front of you in a 6-inch
smear. Form dough into a cake, it should be smooth and
pliable. Wrap in plastic, slide into plastic bag and refrigerate.
