3/4 cup Butter Flavored Crisco
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
3/4 cup favorite jam OR preserves
1 cup powdered sugar
4 teaspoon water
Mix together powdered sugar and water adding only enough of the water to make a medium thick glaze. Whip together milk and Butter Flavored Crisco, for this type of pastry Crisco brand shorting seems to work best. Then add boiling water, whip with a fork until mixture looks like whipped cream. Add salt and flour, stir only until mixed, over mixing will result in hard pastries. Roll out dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rectangles 1-1/2 inch by 3 inches. Put a teaspoon of jam or preserves onto half of the squares, cover with the other half. Pinch together sides with fingers or use fork tines to make them more decorative. Place on baking sheet. Bake in a 400° oven for 10 minutes. After pastries have cooled drizzle a little of the powdered sugar glaze on top.
