      1. Thank you!! The additional link is very helpful. I think I will still make my own dough, I like to use as little preservatives in my cooking as possible. These look amazing!

      1. Hi, there! If the flour you are using to replace the FG flour has xanthan gum in it, you may be safe to go without it. However, if it does not -it may not hold up as well. We’d love to hear how it goes for you if you give it a try!

    1. Melinda – If you do try this – please let us know how it turns out! You can always use butter or margarine as well.

      1. I tried this with coconut oil today with good results. The dough was very hard upon removal from the refrigerator and the dough was a little crumbly, but if you don’t mind a rustic look to your pastries, they turned out nicely!

        1. Meredith – Thanks so much for sharing your adjustments. Coconut oil would be a great sub for the dairy free butter! I have made these quite a few time for my family, and I did find that I had to let the dough sit for a few minutes after removing from refrigerator to be able to roll out.
