I have seen movies with these secret doors in the UK. Usually, Vincent Price
is in them.

I made some pies yesterday. I've found that shortcrust made in bags is just
wonderful. The flour is placed in the bag along with some shortening. It's
mixed into the flour by rubbing it between the fingers. When the water is
added, the bag allows you to distribute the water without squishing the mix
together. The flour is tossed about keeping the mixture loose. It's then
stuck in the refrigerator to rest up. I squish the mix together with it's
ready to roll. This makes a wonderfully flaky crust. Try it, it's the bomb.
OTOH, I think I'll be making yeast doughs in my daughter's mixer. That's da
bomb too.

That sounds good too I've only ever tried that method when making pizza
I will be making a lot of short crust today. I still have apples from my
tree so I intend to make apple pies for the freezer. I already made a huge
apple crumble for the grands at the weekend

As for Vincent Price type doors, I can assure you that those in IKEA are
nothing like that .. ;p
