(was the room you were working in cold? a stretch, but...) if you're willing to try these again and the same thing happens, then i'd add cold water little bits at a time until the dough comes together. should help a great deal. hope this is helpful. anyone else have thoughts?! stacie hi kate,

It was crumbly and sandy and I could get it to make a ball with some effort but it all just fell to pieces again when I tried to flatten with a fork. Any ideas where I went wrong? does this need water too? thanks Stacie/Nicole/Brooke/Anyone
