- Move fast but be safe! Dump your hot fat and boiling water into your dry ingredients and combine until a soft dough forms
- Let it rest until its cool enough to handle safely, then knead until it stiffens up, I usually rest it 10 minutes or so then knead it just until stiff (use a lightly floured surface obviously)
- Now you can either use it immediately or you can wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just take it out, roll it or shape it however you wish and stuff it!
