The ones I have from him are much more complicated. Do you remember the great turnip controversy?
You are welcome. They are easy to make. You can also make your own pastry dough. I'm sure every family makes them differently.

My Irish stepfather used to talk about his mom making them for her large brood of kids.

No, tell us about the turnips??? Never heard about the controversy.
Unless someone fell off the turnip truck???
