| Notes: |
2008-10-06: The soft butter was much better. 300o at even 17 minutes was not enough, but 400o for 20 minutes was too much. They might needing frying to crisp them up.
2007-11-20: This first time was not great. We tried to work with cold butter. Next time we will roll the dough to pencil thickness, hoping for a crisper product.
