Yes.  I'd like a copy of that.  Anyone that has it should try the Aberdeen
Buttries recipe.  I learned to make it to satisfy my husband's childhood
cravings. 

As for yeast dough as coffin: What do you think of the idea?  Has anyone else
tried it?  It's easy to make a thick crust which holds up to a long baking
without burning on the tips and edges. It's not as greasy as pastry, a good
thing for eating out of hand, but it can be quite tough.
