Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

These pastries freeze nicely once they are baked, making them a handy snack or appetizer, or a quick lunch. Grandma would prepare a batch, let them cool on the baking sheets, then place the sheets in the freezer to quick-freeze the pastries. Once they were frozen, she packed them into resealable plastic bags. For the best texture, she used them within three months.
