Personal Notes:
This is a labor intensive project. I always prepare the meat one day and complete the rolling , filling and frying the next day. How our sweet Mother did it all by her self, I'll never know. She was truly Super Mom.

I usually do this for the masses, once or twice a year. In Florida for Rita's family and in Topeka for Chris's family. We double the recipe, where Rita's sons and grandkids help. I roll the dough, 2 or 3 fill, and Rita fries. In Topeka, I roll and Jessie fills using a round dough press. We can do 40 to 45 an hour. I told her we could start a business.
