My mother gave me this recipe many years ago and I lost it. Thank you for bringing it back to me. Instead of using tools to cut and mix, I used my hands. It's messy, but the results are the same. That's the way my mom told me to do it. I love feeling the dough form. I prefer to use butter rather than shortening. Thanks again!
