oil in pie crusts....was pie crust & quilts
I tried fat-free half-and-half and it was really good over sweetened berries
and with oatmeal, etc. I'm sure it would be great in a quiche, too. Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. "Taria" wrote in message ... It's a trade off jeanne. I've made them. They are what I would call 'serviceable. Sure they work but they just are not what you expect when you get a great flaky pie crust. They are a lot healthier but I think just going a route other than pies for dessert is the way for me. Quiche is tough because you have a lot of dairy. Once again you can use low or fat free but is isn't going to have the taste you would expect if you are used to good eats. I am trying to learn to adjust what is acceptable but golly it is tough. Might help if I had high cholesterol or needed to lose weight. We eat really well here. Not a lot of food out or prepared stuff so we are spoiled. Please report back with your results and share? Taria "J*" wrote in message ... now i'm off googling pie crusts with oil rather than lard/shortening/butter/margarine. i found one made with olive oil for a vegetable quiche. you put the oil into the freezer to solidify somewhat first. looks good and seems easy enough and would be healthier if it tastes as nice. other oil recipes used oil and milk together and add that to flour/salt. again easy enough. might have to try one of those soon. off to find some more info on this type of crust. j. |

oil in pie crusts....was pie crust & quilts
If you want quiche to taste full fat when making it with fat-free
milk, use skim canned milk. I use it for gravy, sauces, you name it using skim canned milk. No fat, but man o man is there richness. I think the calories aren't the best, but the fat's not there. Sunny |

pie crust & quilts
Ever try making pie crust with vinegar and milk? the best!
Donna in WA 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.

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! ME-Judy "Taria" wrote in message ... 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. |

oil in pie crusts....was pie crust & quilts
hmmm, i see your point on the flakiness.
its those wee bits of solid shortening (no matter which one) that make it so flaky. i do love the pastry in a good fruit pie. so now i'm of two minds if i even wanna bother making oil pastry even once to try it out. i'll have to ponder that a while i think. j.

Note to DH pie crust
Thanks for the advice, Polly. I filed that in my Food file. Hope I remember
to check it next time I buy ... er, 'make' .... a pie crust. We had a wonderful home made coconut pie in a store bought shell .... delicious! But, next time I will try your advice. Ta, PAT in Virginia "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... I can play the pie crust game from every direction. My best favorite good trick is this. Heat you oven to 300° more or less. Put a cookie sheet in the oven to get warm. Put the pie crust on a lovely pie pan/dish of your own. The tacky, store-bought aluminum foil one will not do. We're trying to look home made here. Take a pastry brush (if you have one) or just your fingers and paint the pie crust with a beaten egg white. Put the painted piecrust (pastry, if you will) in the oven on the warmed cookie sheet for about 5 minute. Remove. Viola / Voila! The egg white will act sort of like varnish and keep the pie crust from getting a case of soggy bottom when you put the filling in and bake. And - a recent lesson from our precious Alton Brown: let a pie cool for at least 5 hours for all the magic to happen and a filling to set. In '08, my pecan pie turned to syrup, we cut it too soon. AB is one smart cookie. Polly .. |

Note to DH pie crust
How 'bout those pie shells already in the pan. Now I know it is an aluminum
pan BUT,I pre bake them just a bit till they are firmed up & transfer them to my better pie pan. Fill 'er up with filling of me choice & no one knows the difference. (Unless I tell them!) Nana not cheating just short cuttingg "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ... Thanks for the advice, Polly. I filed that in my Food file.
