Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My aunt was a pastry cook at a restaurant. Her advice was, be gentle with the
dough. Roll out dough, if necessary patch it, never reroll it. That keeps the
crusts flakey and tender.
I double the recipe, and put crust between plastic, fold, and freeze in plastic
bags to use later.
