Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
This recipe was one Grandma used over and over, because the dough can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before being baked. She wrapped the dough tightly in plastic wrap. When she was ready to bake, she rolled and cut it as the recipe directs.
