Personal Notes:
This crust is much easier to handle than traditional crust. It still takes some practice, but well worth the effort. Any scraps can be sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and baked on a cookie sheet!
The dough may also be formed into discs and frozen. When ready to use, just thaw, roll and fill!
