Sweet Girl
“Joey says, handing me a stack of scalloped metal tart pans. “You get that butter there”—she points to a pile of European butter stacked to one side of the high metal worktable—“and use it to grease each one like this.” Her fingers reach out for a scoop of butter and quickly work it in and around each groove of the tart pan. “Then you roll out the dough that Ram made this morning. Use this cutter to make the circle and then press it down into the mold like this.” Her hands move as quickly as her... words, shaping the dough as if she’s done this a million times before.
