  • The key to this entire recipe is to not use a mixer and do not over-mix in any step of the recipe.
  • Use a fork, knife, your hands or a pastry blender to shave the COLD margarine into the dry ingredients.
  • When everything is added, there should be pea-sized bits of margarine all throughout the dough.
