Personal Notes:
Practice makes perfect. That's what Grandma always told us. Well, we girls still need practice - our crusts aren't perfect yet, but some days, they aren't too bad. Grandma made the BEST crust! Flaky - never tough.
"Be sure your water is cold. Don't handle the dough too much."
Love, Grandma Stunkel
