humidity or lack of is where I am getting at. In dryer weather like in wintertime I add a little less flour to compensate. oh and in this mix a bit more.

It could be that you are not leting them cool before rolling them.

It could be because your cake is too thick.

needs more shortening,butter or oil in batter or not cooled enough?

You are rolling them when the are hot. Dont let them cool to much or the will crack and tear. Im making mine tonight.
