Howdy!

Same here, Judy. Oil or shortening makes a great crust,
if you know how to make great crust. G I taught my mom how to make
pie crust, oil, butter, shortening (never lard). She sold her very popular
pies at the local café where she worked (most popular was her lemon merigue,
made w/ the huge lemons from s.Tx. groves). I think the secret is/was to
just take the time to learn to make a great crust.

Gosh, Taria, I'll have to disagree with you about using oil in pie crusts
G. I use canola oil. The trick I learned is to roll it out between two
sheets of wax paper.

[ Lay the bottom wax paper going the long way in one direction, put down the
crust, and lay the other wax paper going in the other direction. so that you
end up with the wax papers making a square in the center!]

Roll the dough to the edges of the square part -- well, to make a circle,
you don't roll it all the way out to the corners - just to the flat sides.
Take off the top sheet, turn the dough/bottom wax paper over and put it on
the pie pan. Gently press down. Then gently peel off the 2nd wax paper
sheet. Voila!

I make an awesome pie crust but there really is no way to do a low fat one.
Sure you can do the oil ones but they are just not ever going to be great.
