The instructions are very simple “mix together”. However, it is how you mix them together that is going to make or break this recipe.

Here are some tips for a fabulous flakey crust:
Use a food processor if possible to blend the dough together until it reaches the consistency of breadcrumbs.
You can also use a fork on a cold cutting board if you don’t want to use the food processor.
Remember the less you touch the dough with your hands the less chance that the butter will melt.
When adding the water add one spoonful at a time, the goal is to use the least amount of water as possible.
Once the dough is combined wrap it in plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
When rolling out the dough do not roll over the edge of the dough, this will result in frayed edges.
Roll, then turn the dough a little and repeat this until the dough is 1/8 thick.
No need to grease the pie plate due to the high butter content.

Enjoy!

When it comes time to decorate the cake, first demonstrate on a piece of wax paper. Allow time for questions, then give the opportunity to practice on wax paper. A good time to do this would be while the cake is baking and cooling. When it is time to move on to the cake, make sure that it is fully cooled. Sticking it in the fridge when it comes out of the oven can expedite the cooling process. Start with a flat layer of icing applied by spatula. Remember that the child may need your help so stick around. After the first layer of icing, you are ready for the fun part: piping!

A number of things affect whether a cookie is more crunchy or more cakelike. To bake chewy cookies, you will want to find a balance betweeen these two extremes. As a rule, the more cookies spread out during the baking process the crunchier the cookie will be.
Some great tips on finding that balance can be found at Allrecipes.com, http://allrecipes.com//HowTo/perfect-cookies/Detail. aspx not only is there great information in the article, but many readers share their great ideas as well.

Butter, water and air will make cookies flatten out. If you don’t want to give up using butter in cookies,you can compromise by using a mixture of butter and margarine. Sixty/forty butter and margarine blends are a good way to achieve chewy cookies.

Over mixing is also a factor, since more air in a cookie can cause it to flatten out. White and brown sugar balance is also key. Brown sugars make cookies cakelike, while white sugars make cookies crispier. Reducing the white sugar, and increasing the brown sugar can help make cookies more chewy.

Once you’ve followed these tips, you will want to make sure you don’t overbake. Many suggest taking cookies out of the oven a minute or two earlier than indicated on the recipe.

• Will you tell me something about yourself?

An unprepared candidate may misunderstand the meaning of this question. Your interviewer doesn’t care about your Call of Duty addiction or your love for dogs; rather, he or she is asking for your qualifications. Prepare a 1-2 minute summary of your employee and educational history.

• Why do you feel this position is for you?

At this point, it is up to you to explain how you will benefit the company. Put together 1-3 examples of how you meet the job’s requirements. For example, if the employer is looking for a computer-savvy individual, explain your past achievements with computers.

• Where do you see yourself in five years?

When you hear this question, your first answer might be: I have no idea! However, employers are looking for individuals with long term goals. Here’s an example of what you could say: “If you and I decide this is a good fit, I want to come in and meet the daily expectations you set for me. Hopefully, this will lead to further opportunities in the future.”

1. Write a targeted resume for each position you apply for. Many people make the mistake of using one standard resume for every application. These non-specific documents have no hope of standing out. While your work experience may stay the same for most of your resumes, objectives and key words will vary from job to job.
2. Use specific numbers and statistics to describe your past responsibilities. An employer will be more impressed and comfortable with your level of experience if you list exact figures. Instead of saying you were in charge of an annual department budget, specify the exact amount of money you oversaw. If you wrote something that was published, instead of leaving it at that, list what journals or papers the work could be found in and or the user traffic of a website you created.
3. Keywords, keywords, keywords! The verbiage in your resume will go a long way towards grabbing the reader’s attention. Read through the job description very carefully and choose words to describe past experience that relate specifically to the responsibilities the new position would hold.
4. Absolutely no typos! If someone has a stack of resumes to read through, they are looking for the quickest way to eliminate as many as possible. Your resume could be otherwise flawless, but throw in a typo, and it’s in the trash. Your resume should be the most polished work you create, and if you can’t get the simple spelling and grammar correct, this suggests to your employer that your day to day performance will be subpar.
5. Describe the ways you could bring about positive change in your role at the company. An employer is looking for someone who will do more than just the bare minimum described in the job post. If you can offer tangible ways your skills will be a valuable asset, you are more likely to be considered.
