Tips: Flaky Pastry

Misc.
Janet:

I too have a collection of scoops but I use them for chocolate truffles. I
agree that if you keep the butter in larger pieces that the pastry is much
flakier. I learned this recently in making my first ever successful pie crust (the truth is I was always terrified to attempt it).

Yes wonderful Sara did it again, but I can't resist finding another cool website.

Thanks for all your help and advice.

Debbie
