 Sherry (Ontario) says:
Delicious recipe but, the directions for the dough never states when to add the butter and whether to mix ingredients by hand or with a mixer. I would recommend adding room temperature butter and mixing all ingredients with a paddle mixer. I did it by hand and it was very hard to get the butter mixed in.
