You will want to add most of the milk first. This will help you decide how much milk you need. You may need more that the 1 cup of milk in this recipe. So keep the milk handy until the dough has been formed.
I like to use a cold rolling pin, I actually use a bottle filled with water i keep in my refrigerator.
