	Crisco's Pie Crust by myra byanka Really good, flaky pie crust using shortening. Make this when you want a pie crust that has no sugar - desserts, quiches, pot pies, etc. I'm no pastry chef, and this recipe worked just great for me. The trick is to follow the directions.

	Smoked Brisket Tamales by myra byanka Had some extra brisket, so came up with this recipe, which is good for brisket fans or for people who don't like spicy Mexican food, but might like tamales. I use a smoke/bake method of doing brisket. It always comes out perfect. When I have smoked the brisket for 5 hours or so, I finish it in the oven @ 250 for 5-8 hours.

	Old-fashioned Icebox Rolls by myra byanka Make the dough and keep it in the reefer for up to a week. Bake rolls when you want fresh ones. I usually let the dough stay in the fridge a few days for extra good flavor.	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 9821 views

	Tacos de Suadero (Brisket Tacos) by myra byanka A brisket flat or hanger steak ($$) may be used as the basis for these tacos. If you want to present them Puro D.F. (authentic Mexico City style), mince and grill an onion, then combine it with chopped cilantro to top the meat, which is served in small double corn tortillas. See pic. And don't forget the salsa.	1 vote 1 comment 9568 views
