Sweet Short Pastry

Submitted by: Nori Salisbury 
Sugar, butter and a dash of vanilla are added to the flour and chilled shortening, so this wonderful pastry is much like a sweet shortbread cookie. It 's perfect for cherry or other fruit fillings. This recipe yields one 9-inch crust.

This recipe makes a sweet dough that is perfect for fruit pies or tarts. A bit of sugar, an egg and vinegar make this dough different from the traditional, but the end result is pastry that is manageable and flaky. Try adding a bit of lemon zest if you 're feeling adventurous.

This is a classic pastry cream often used in bakeries and restaurants. It can be used as a filling for cakes, pies or pastries. To make a lighter filling, fold in plain whipped cream.
