But this pie crust looks pretty easy...so maybe it's time for me to learn to make crust!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403041461180797.post-1729249798393988492009-01-18T13:24:00.000-08:002009-01-18T13:24:00.000-08:00If you make pie and only use the top crust, it hel...If you make pie and only use the top crust, it helps cut calories/points tremendously.<BR/><BR/>I can tell you about some ww tricks, if you want.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403041461180797.post-30887360352881028412009-01-18T07:16:00.000-08:002009-01-18T07:16:00.000-08:00I struggled for years with finding a pie crust rec...I struggled for years with finding a pie crust recipe, especially after I threw out my Crisco (trans fats). All-butter crusts don't work well for me - they weep and collapse before getting crisp. I used to like precooking the bottom crust a little before putting in filling, and this is disastrous with all butter.<BR/><BR/>I now use "Gramma Bayer's Never-Fail Pie Crust" (Kim's blog) and have been very happy with it. I use part lard, part butter. It makes 3 single pie crusts and I have had good luck freezing the ones I'm not using yet as a ball of dough.<BR/><BR/>BTW, my favorite use for leftover bits of crust is to knead some cheese, cayenne and a dash of garlic salt in, and make cheese "cookies". A guilty treat, not for WW folks.Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359669602428304286noreply@blogger.com
