Then wash your hands and get out the flour , sugar , salt , butter , and cinnamon . See if the pie-board is clean , and pare your apple ready to put in . '' Daisy got things together with as little noise and spilling as could be expected , from so young a cook . `` I really do n't know how to measure for such tiny pies ; I must guess at it , and if these do n't succeed , we must try again , '' said Mrs. Jo , looking rather perplexed , and very much amused with the small concern before her . `` Take that little pan full of flour , put in a pinch of salt , and then rub in as much butter as will go on that plate . Always remember to put your dry things together first , and then the wet . It mixes better so . '' `` I know how ; I saw Asia do it . Do n't I butter the pie plates too ? She did , the first thing , '' said Daisy , whisking the flour about at a great rate . `` Quite right ! I do believe you have a gift for cooking , you take to it so cleverly , '' said Aunt Jo , approvingly . `` Now a dash of cold water , just enough to wet it ; then scatter some flour on the board , work in a little , and roll the paste out ; yes , that 's the way . Now put dabs of butter all over it , and roll it out again . We wo n't have our pastry very rich , or the dolls will get dyspeptic . '' Daisy laughed at the idea , and scattered the dabs with a liberal hand . Then she rolled and rolled with her delightful little pin , and having got her paste ready proceeded to cover the plates with it . Next the apple was sliced in , sugar and cinnamon lavishly sprinkled over it , and then the top crust put on with breathless care . `` I always wanted to cut them round , and Asia never would let me . How nice it is to do it all my ownty donty self ! ''
