Ingredients

They look so neat

They're packed with meat

They surely are the best

They'd warm the cokles of your heart

And put hair upon your chest

The poor ole vegetarians

They can't believe their eyes

At the crowds outside De Barra's

Waiting for her mutton pies

2 C flour

1 C (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into small pieces
