Hot-water Pastry (USING CAKE AND PASTRY FLOUR:) Recipe
All I can say about this Hot-water Pastry is YUM! Hot-water Pastry served as Dessert is the best food to pep me up. This recipe will save you dollars which you have spent at Canadian restaurants for similar or perhaps inferior taste. In my opinion, if one is a chef, one ought to have a personal recipe of Hot-water Pastry, just like I do.
