Below is a very nice tasting recipe that my Daughter and I baked amongst other Christmas goodies today...But I need some help with it. The recipe is very nice and very easy...but the crust doesn't get firm. It says a soggy mess even with 3 times the baking time. Could you please post an alternate crust that would work better than the one in the recipe?
