Love your YouTube channel. This is the first recipe I’m trying. The recipe above calls for 2 1/8 cups of sugar for the dough but the video recipe seems to add much less sugar that this amount? Is the sugar amount above a mistake?
OMG, thank you so much for catching that, Mike. You are amazing! It is indeed only 1/3 cup of sugar, I corrected the recipe.
There’s no temperature listed on what to bake these…
Thank you for asking Dena. The pastry is baked at 350 F in a pre-heated oven.
I really appreciate you sharing this recipe. Thank you!
