In Britain you can buy in the chilled cabinet raw pastry maybe you have similar in the States.

I actually do make my own pastry I have found if I use a food mixer it is quite easy, a trick my mum taught me. I use double in weight flour to fat and then just enough water to bind together. The fat I use is half hard margarine and half white vegetable fat our makes are cooken and trex I believe you call it shortening and your major make is Crisco.

The rest of the recipe is really really easy. My earlier photo was as taken just as I got the tray out of the oven here is plate with cut slices on it.

Seriously.

This is something I would love.

And that dough you make....it’s a talent. One can always tell a home-made pastry from a store-bought.

My mother-in-law gave me her recipe for pastry and she makes great pies.

Me?

Not so much.
