This recipe brings back memories from my childhood when my mom performed some magic in her kitchen. When she put the pastry in a bucket of cold water, I thought that this would completly dissolve the pastry! Far from being wrong, pastry is not like soap!
When I was about 12, I made my own first batch without my mom's help. They were perhaps not as pretty and perfect as hers, but boy, they were delicious. As I moved across the globe, the recipe got lost and I decided to look it up on the web. And guess what? Here it is but slightly modified by me
