Add the rest of the ingredients (- salt) and continue mixing until the dough is stiff. Gather into a bowl and wrap with waxed paper and chill for several hours or overnight.

  • Step 2: Roll out small portions of the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 3 inch rounds or shapes (we cut them into shapes).
