"I've made these for many parties and dinners. Everyone raves about them and there are never any left. I've found that the extra teaspoon or two of water is necessary or the dough dosen't hold together well enough to shape into a log. Per Ina: The better the ingredients the better the outcome! I definitely splurge for the parmesan reggiano for this recipe! Makes all the differnce in the world. These are great for a starter with champane."
