Roll, fold refrigerate. Bake before it warms up and the butter melts. It's been years since I made any, but if memory serves, the ingredients don't include much beyond flour, water, and butter. Try changing what flour you use, or what butter. Main thing - cold water, cold butter. | |

i think the recipe i used was one of the recipes put out by someone that likes to think there is a certain mystique about cooking | |
