This was fun! I was fairly skeptical at first, but this was a great dough. I needed to add a bit more flour (but I live in a humid place, that's not uncommon). It rolled out nicely, and tasted delicious in both the sweet mini pumpkin pies I made as well as the savory meat pies. The crust was nice and flaky after baking, even with repeated rolling. Thank you for posting!

Homework, Hockey, and Housework, that's all I have time for with 3 boys! It's a miracle when I find a nice home-cooked meal we ALL enjoy - that's if I have time to make it and we can all eat it together! LOL!
