Ok, my first try....and I only did half recipe "in case".
I tried it so I feel I have something to comment on. #1. it was waay too oily/sticky; even chilled, to work with.and too flaky to pick up alone. Sooo use more flour I think half to double amt! and it will be fantastic. I added a little extra but still greasy. the taste is awesome, I plan to add a little sugar/nuts etc. and bake flat when in a hurry. OR make it savory.
