I tried to make these yesterday and it was a disaster. My dough didn't look anything like the pic after getting it mixed up. I used AP flour...maybe that contributed. But I only added 2 T of H20 and it still came out REALLY sticky. Don't know what I messed up, but by the time I was done attempting to roll it out and putting in the raisins, I was laughing my head off at the mess I'd made. I ended up with about 8 or 9 misshaped lumps of raisins that were occasionally covered with dough. They sure didn't resemble anything in these photos.
I'm getting ready for a bake sale this weekend, and I'd been in the kitchen all day. These were my last recipe of the day, so I had been dealing with issues off and on all day. Sometimes, you just gotta laugh! New recipes sometimes just don't work out. I'll try these again another time. They were misshapen lumps, but tasty!
I am sorry for your troubles and for your mess. We'd be happy to talk through this recipe with you if you'd like to give us a call on the baker's hotline: 802-649-3717. ~Amy
