1 c. butter
1 c. Wesson oil or Mazola oil
2/3 c. whiskey
1 c. Muscat white wine (no other substitute)
1 c. Crisco
1 c. water

While above mixture is boiling measure 12 cups flour. In a large bowl, beat two large eggs just to blend, then add 12 cups flour a cup at a time and knead. Place dough on floured board and knead dough until smooth. Cover with towel or plastic. Cut a small amount and roll until about 12 to 15 inches long.
